Kilim carpets

Kelim carpet – bring a piece of tradition and craftsmanship into your home

The Kilim carpets have a long tradition that goes back to the nomadic peoples of the Middle East. Originally they served as versatile textiles - as blankets, saddle blankets, seat mats or even as wall decorations. These flat-woven carpets can be used on both sides, which makes them particularly durable and versatile. The weaving technique of warp and weft creates geometric patterns that are typical for Kilim carpets .

The uniqueness of the Kelim carpets

A Kilim carpet is more than just a decorative floor covering – it tells the story of a craft that has been handed down for centuries. Thanks to the flat weaving technique, the front and back hardly differ from each other, which allows double-sided use. Another special feature is the use of vegetable dyeswhich give the kilims their bright yet natural colors. The small slits that are often seen in the patterns are a typical result of the weaving process.

Advantages of a Kelim Carpet

• Handwoven and durable: Each carpet is unique and is made by hand using traditional techniques.
• Usable on both sides: The flat weave means the carpet can be used from both sides.
• ecru: The colors often come from vegetable dyes, which makes the carpets environmentally friendly.

Crafts from Afghanistan and Iran

Our Kilim carpets come mainly from regions such as southern Iran and Afghanistan, where they are made by skilled artisans. An outstanding example is the Kilim Afghan runner, which is made of 100% pure wool and is handwoven by Turkmen in northern Afghanistan. These carpets are characterized by their bold, geometric patterns and outstanding quality.

The Kilim Ghashgai carpets from Iran also offer beautiful, colorful designs that fit perfectly into modern and traditional spaces. Whether as a carpet, wall decoration or throw - these works of art add a touch of authenticity and warmth to any home.
