How do I clean a kilim?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes surface dust and grit from the flatweave structure. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deep refreshing to protect the wool fibres.

Can I use a kilim as a runner?

Certain specific examples are woven in long, narrow formats explicitly suited for hallways and corridors. A quality underlay keeps the flat textile secure and prevents sliding on smooth floors.

Where were these rugs made?

The pieces originate from diverse weaving regions including Anatolia, Persia, and the Balkan traditional areas. Each geographic origin imparts distinct design motifs, colour combinations, and structural habits.

Why are some kilims in two parts?

Large room-size textiles were sometimes woven in two separate longitudinal strips and joined together. This traditional practice enabled weavers to produce wide floor coverings on narrower village looms.
