FAQs

Pirot and Sarkoy kilims are traditional flat-woven wool textiles produced in the Balkan region, renowned for their intricate geometric patterns, natural dyes, and historical tapestry-weaving techniques originating during the Ottoman period.

Traditional kilims are hand-woven using hand-spun wool yarns for both warp and weft, constructed on vertical looms using a slit-weave technique that produces crisp geometric designs without a raised pile.

Authentic examples feature reversible flat-woven structures, subtle abrash colour shifts from hand-dyed wools, finely executed slit-weave seams, and specific Balkan motifs such as stylised floral elements or geometric amulets.

A flatweave kilim introduces pattern and warmth beneath modern minimalist furniture, complements natural wood tones in rustic schemes, or provides texture when layered over plain wool flooring.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush, spot-clean spills immediately using a clean damp cloth, place a quality rug pad underneath, and seek professional rug cleaning when required.
