How do I clean a kilim?

Maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar and professional textile cleaning when necessary. Avoid excessive moisture to protect the wool fibres. Keeping the textile out of direct sunlight preserves the natural dyes used in the floral patterns.

Can I put a kilim on the floor?

These flatweaves function well on floors, provided you use an appropriate underlay to prevent slipping and reduce wear. High-traffic areas require sturdier specimens to endure daily foot traffic. Lighter tapestries benefit from wall mounting to minimise physical friction.

How do I date a kilim?

Dating relies on examining the wool consistency, dye palettes, and structural characteristics typical of periods from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century. Regional weaving traits provide further clues to age. Comparing structural motifs with documented examples helps establish the manufacturing timeframe.

What is the difference between a rug and a tapestry?

While both share flat-weave construction methods, rugs are engineered primarily for floor use with denser foundations. Tapestries are typically lighter and designed specifically for vertical wall display. Weight and backing structure often distinguish the intended placement of each textile.
