Brown Striped Handwoven Contemporary Kilim Rug
Comes in made-to-measure with 3 month lead time. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH HERE
This beautiful kilim rug is handwoven with premium materials and a minimal striped design.
It is woven with hand-spun wool which gives it shades of grey brown with alternating cream tones instead of solid block colours. The hand-spun wool gives the kilim rug more variety in colour and creates extra depth.
This brown grey striped kilim rug has a soft yet durable texture.
Its design and look is contemporary with striped bands handwoven on one large loom.
Striped kilim large area rug
This brown grey striped kilim rug is flat woven, which means it does not have a pile of wool on one side and as such it is much lighter than a pile rug.
Kilims are made by interweaving the warp and weft strands in a flat texture. This makes them reversible and so they can be laid out from both the front and back side.
Origin
This beautiful striped large kilim rug is handwoven in Turkey by skilled craftspeople with premium materials and a simple striped design.
Comes in made-to-measure with 3 month lead time.
Size and shape
If you are in doubt about what size you ideally need, please find here some guidelines to help you make the right decision.
Materials and texture
It is handmade with 100% hand-spun wool. It has a soft feel to it with a flexible handle yet is durable and hardwearing.
Handwoven rugs
This striped kilim rug is handwoven on a large loom.
Typical for handmade rugs is that they do not necessarily have perfect symmetrical designs. They have imperfections in design and this is also part of the charm of handwoven rugs and what makes every rug unique.
In this case the rug is handwoven with bands of horizontal stripes in brown grey, alternating with creamy white tones. The blocks are all slightly different in size yet look-a-like with shades of its colour instead of solid block tones.
Underlay
This brown grey striped kilim rug has a good weight to it, is not too thin or too floppy, however depending on the underfloor you may wish to add an underlay.
“Underlay makes SUCH a difference not only in keeping the rug in place but also in making it feel much nicer to walk on.”
Maintaining and caring for your kilim
This brown grey striped Turkish kilim is hardwearing and durable. It is relatively low in maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean.
It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front.
Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.
Stain treatment
The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining.
The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away.
Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting.
Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead.
When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice. If you need advice on this, pleased get in touch.
