A kilim is a flat-woven textile made without a pile, produced by nomadic and village weavers across the Middle East, Caucasus, and Central Asia. Unlike knotted carpets, kilims are constructed by tightly interweaving warp and weft threads to create smooth, reversible surfaces with sharp geometric designs.

How were sofreh used?

Sofreh were utilitarian cloths spread on the ground to serve meals, prepare bread dough, or wrap household provisions. Nomadic families relied on these durable wool and cotton textiles daily, which accounts for the practical wear visible on many surviving examples.

How do I care for antique kilims?

Protect antique kilims from direct sunlight and heavy foot traffic by placing them in low-impact areas or mounting them securely on walls. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes dust, while professional textile cleaning maintains the integrity of hand-spun wool and natural dyes.

How do I identify regional styles?

Regional styles are identified through specific structural characteristics, colour palettes, and geometric motif repertoires unique to tribes such as the Qashqai, Shahsevan, or Yomut. Caucasian pieces often favour sharp primary colours and linear medallions, whereas Anatolian and Persian tribal weaving frequently incorporates earthy tones and complex border bands.
