The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Pirot Sarkoy kilims are traditional flat-woven wool carpets originating from the Balkan region, renowned for their intricate geometric patterns, flat-weave construction, and rich natural dye palettes.

These textiles are hand-woven using pure hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft threads, creating a durable slit-weave structure with identical designs visible on both sides.

Authentic Pirot kilims feature characteristic stepped medallion motifs, slit-weave tapestry construction without a pile, hand-knotted wool fringes, and soft colour variations resulting from natural vegetable dyes.

A terracotta and green geometric kilim grounds modern neutral spaces by introducing warmth, visual texture, and historical interest when layered over hardwood or flagstone floors.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush attachment, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, use a quality rug pad underneath, and consult a professional textile restorer for deep cleaning.
