What is a flat-weave kilim?

A flat-weave kilim is constructed without a pile by tightly interweaving warp and weft threads together. This creates a lightweight, reversible textile with crisp, flat geometric borders and bands. Nomadic groups used these versatile textiles for floor coverings, blankets, and animal pack saddles. Their lack of pile distinguishes them immediately from traditional knotted carpets.

How were tribal bags used?

Nomadic families utilised khorjin saddle-bags to transport belongings across mountain passes during seasonal migrations. Suspended across pack animals, these containers held household goods, grain, and personal items. Complete pairs or surviving bag faces display compressed versions of main carpet motifs. Today they function well as small decorative wall hangings or table mats.

How do I care for antique wool rugs?

Antique wool rugs require gentle vacuuming without rotary beater bars to protect delicate hand-spun pile and original flat-weave edges. Keeping them out of direct sunlight prevents natural dyes from fading over time. Professional specialist cleaning ensures wool fibres remain conditioned without chemical damage. Proper placement on a breathable underlay protects the foundation structure from premature wear.
