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

Shahsavan kilims are flatwoven wool rugs crafted by the Shahsavan tribal confederation, a pastoral nomadic group traditionally originating from the Azerbaijan region and north-western Iran. These textiles are known for their geometric diamond motifs, vibrant natural dyes, and slit-weave tapestries used for both floor coverings and utilitarian bags.

Caucasian kilims are handwoven primarily using locally sourced wool for both the warp and the weft. The wool is spun by hand and dyed using plant-based and mineral dyes, resulting in rich colours such as madder red, indigo blue, and terracotta.

Authentic pieces feature slit-weave tapestry techniques, hand-spun wool with slight gauge variations, and natural dye abrashes (subtle colour shading across horizontal bands). The reverse side shows clean, visible weave work corresponding directly to the front pattern without synthetic backing.

An antique kilim brings graphic structure and historic tone to contemporary interiors, pairing naturally with scrubbed timber, leather seating, or neutral linen upholstery. Designers frequently position flatweaves in entryways, living rooms, or under dining arrangements to add warmth and geometric interest.

Vacuum flatweave kilims using a suction-only setting to avoid disturbing the weave fibres, and rotate them periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly. Professional hand-washing by an antique textile specialist is recommended for thorough cleaning and stain removal.
