Late 19th - early 20th century kilim from north-west Iran

This kilim is a very good example of the weaving of this region.
The wool is very tight and the patterns perfectly executed, with a lot of finesse and irregular zigzags in the borders that add fantasy to the ensemble.

Very solid, perfect for a large entrance or corridor.

The kilims of the Qazvin region were woven by tribes members of the Shahsavan confederation (or "friends of the Shah") who settled around the town.
They were influenced in their weaving by the Kurds and other neighbouring groups.
The wools used are medium in size and very tightly woven, and the weavings are generally very sophisticated with a rigorous composition.
These weavings are often on brown backgrounds, with red, blue, beige and ochre motifs.

Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.

Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.

These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.

Every day: you can vacuum, but not at maximum power. Avoid vacuum cleaners with rotating brushes.

Liquid spills: mop up as much liquid as possible and rub gently with a damp cloth. 

Grease stains: soak up as much grease as possible with paper towels or terre de Sommières.

Accidents involving animals: in this case, it's very important to act quickly, as animals release acids that will damage wool. Treat your kilim following the same advice as for spilled liquids. 

For a more thorough cleaning: it may be that the stains have not been completely treated, or that over the years, despite regular maintenance, dust has settled in and a grey veil has set in. In such cases, it's time to turn to a professional. 

That's why we offer a cleaning service, carried out by a company specialized in manual and wet carpet cleaning.
