It is suitable for normal domestic use as a floor covering in living spaces, bedrooms, or hallways.

FAQs

Sharkoy kilims originate from the Thrace region of the southern Balkans and north-western Turkey, distinguished by their fine flatweave technique and delicate geometric motifs.

Kilims are hand-woven using a slit-weave tapestry technique with pure wool yarns, creating a thin, durable, pileless fabric with reversible patterns.

Authentic pieces feature small characteristic slits along colour boundaries, fine hand-spun wool, and traditional regional motifs rendered in soft, naturally derived colour palettes.

A vibrant flatweave kilim introduces pattern and warmth to neutral schemes, pairing effectively with mid-century timber furniture, leather seating, or minimalist floorboards.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, treat liquid spills immediately with a damp clean cloth, and rotate periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly.
