Kilim Rug

Handwoven & Handknotted Hybrid Kilim-Rug
A unique fusion of 100% premium wool, crafted through a rare combination of handwoven kilim and handknotted pile weaving. Certain sections are flat-woven (kilim), while others rise with a knotted pile—creating a distinct three-dimensional texture, a sculptural surface that feels both traditional and contemporary.

This special hybrid technique originates mainly from Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran, where tribal and rural artisans have practiced it for generations. Historically, these pieces were created as artistic statements—merging the practicality of kilim with the luxury and depth of knotted carpets. The contrasting textures often symbolized harmony between simplicity and richness, between nomadic utility and settled craftsmanship.

Motifs typically draw from tribal heritage:
• Geometric shapes representing protection and unity
• Diamond patterns symbolizing the eye of good fortune
• Stepped lines echoing mountains, migration paths, and the rhythm of nomadic life

What makes these hybrid kilim-rugs truly exceptional is their versatility and visual impact. The raised pile catches the light beautifully, giving the rug a dimensional effect that feels almost sculpted. The flat-woven parts add clarity to the design and make the overall piece lighter and more flexible than a fully-knotted carpet—yet more luxurious and textured than a traditional kilim.

Each piece is:
• Handcrafted by master weavers of Khorasan
• Durable, artistic, and culturally meaningful
• Perfect for modern, bohemian, Scandinavian, rustic, or eclectic interiors
• A functional artwork that elevates any room

This kilim-rug is not just a floor covering—it’s a testament to Iran’s weaving heritage, carrying the soul of tribal craftsmanship into contemporary decor.
