The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sharkoy kilims are traditional flatweave textiles originating from the Thracian region of the Balkans, created during the late Ottoman period into the early 20th century. They are characterized by fine wool construction, central diamond medallion layouts, and distinct geometric motifs.

Balkan kilims are hand-woven using pure wool yarns on vertical or horizontal looms. They utilize a slit-weave flatweaving technique, where colour changes create characteristic vertical gaps along the edges of geometric patterns.

Authentic pieces from this period display natural dye variation, precise slit-weave tapestry technique, and traditional Thracian motifs such as hooked diamonds and stylised botanical borders. Age is often evident through gentle wool oxidisation and subtle fading across the field.

A large red kilim functions as a foundational anchor in living rooms, dining areas, or spacious hallways. The strong crimson tone pairs effectively with neutral linen upholstery, warm timber furniture, and exposed architectural elements.

Flatweave wool kilims should be vacuumed gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotary brush. Vacuuming both sides periodically and using a high-quality rug pad underneath prevents fiber wear and slipping.
