FAQs

Pirot and Sarkoy kilims are traditional flatwoven carpets produced in the Balkans, known for their fine wool construction, intricate geometric motifs, and double-sided symmetrical designs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun sheep wool for both the warp and the weft, dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authentication involves examining the hand-spun wool fibres, natural dye variations, irregular slit-weave construction techniques, and traditional regional motifs characteristic of early 20th-century production.

These textiles serve as striking foundation pieces in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with neutral furnishings, minimalist upholstery, and natural wood floors to balance the bold geometric patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning only, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and fibre wear.
