A kelleh is a specific format of oriental carpet, traditionally longer than a standard rug but wider than a runner, originating from the Caucasus region.

These carpets are hand-knotted using handspun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, often dyed with natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density, natural colour variations, abrash in the wool, and traditional regional geometric or stylised floral motifs.

It serves as a strong focal point on hardwood floors, anchoring traditional or eclectic furniture arrangements with its rich texture and pattern.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional cleaning when necessary, and protection from direct sunlight help preserve the wool fibers.
