The art of Kilim

Last items in stock
Early 20th century kilim from the Bakhtiari tribes, from the Chahar Mahal valley, which crosses the Zagros Mountains.
The "spearhead" border of this kilim is very characteristic of this region. The center, on the other hand, is more unusual in both color and pattern. The linear aspect of the whole is broken by the "brushstrokes" that irregularly enter the center of the weave.
The white parts have been woven with cotton to accentuate the contrast.
Bakhtiari kilim carpets are woven with medium to thick wools, using double interlock process to avoid slots between two colors, and are very similar to Luri kilims.
A wide variety of motifs can be found, as the Bakhtiari tribes nomadized in the Zagros mountains with other tribal groups such as the Qashqai, the Shahsavan, or the Kurds of Khorassan.
The colors used are generally quite dense: red, yellow, blue, orange, beige, brown.
Weaving : Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers.
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.
