Rug material

Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A hand-woven kilim in the Qashqai manner, made in 100% hand-spun wool. A large stepped diamond medallion fills the coral-red field, worked as a lattice of small compartments each holding a cross or star in navy, cream, sky blue, green, yellow and red — no two neighbouring compartments coloured alike.

A cornflower blue border carries bold hooked devices, framed by a broad sage green band with a yellow and red zigzag running through it. This is slit-tapestry kilim rather than soumak: the pattern is woven into the cloth itself, so the surface is smooth and the rug is fully reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.

Care instructions

  • Always use a rug pad underneath — a flatweave slips easily without one.
  • Vacuum gently with the beater bar off.
  • Turn the kilim over every year — it is fully reversible and wears evenly if used both sides.
  • Blot spills immediately, working from the outside in.
  • Have the kilim professionally cleaned when needed — never machine wash.

This is a different kind of weaving from the banded flatweaves woven alongside it. There is no soumak embroidery here at all — the whole design is slit tapestry, meaning every colour is woven directly into the cloth, and where two colours meet the weaver leaves a small vertical slit. That technique is what produces the stepped, angular outlines: a diagonal can only be built from stacked rectangles, so the great diamond medallion in the centre climbs in steps rather than curving. The palette is Qashqai in spirit, coral and cornflower and sage rather than the madder and indigo of the north, and the compartments inside the medallion are coloured almost at random, so the eye keeps finding new combinations. Both faces are finished, so it can be used either way up.
