The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Pirot Sarkoy kilims are traditional flatwoven wool textiles produced in the Balkan region, historically associated with the town of Pirot. They are distinguished by their double-sided tapestry weave and geometric motifs.

These flatweaves are crafted using hand-spun wool dyed with natural or early synthetic colorants, employing a slit-weave tapestry technique that creates distinct geometric outlines and renders the textile reversible.

Authentic pieces exhibit tight weave density, precise geometric iconography such as diamond medallions or stylized border motifs, and a wool warp and weft construction without a raised pile.

A flatweave kilim acts as a focal point on hardwood or stone flooring, complementing contemporary minimalist furniture or pairing with traditional timber pieces.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and address spills immediately using a damp cloth with mild wool detergent.
