This artisanal and authentic piece will give your interior decoration a touch of color and bohemia. This wool kilim is a unique piece hand-woven by pashtun men. It is a dominant ethnic group in afghanistan, established mainly in the south and east of the country as well as in the north-western province of pakistan. These kilims, which are characterized by various geometric shapes, colorful or not, are part of the traditional culture of this originally nomadic people. These kilims have the particularity of being able to be used on both sides. They are very resistant thanks to their dense weave, and are easily maintained. They adhere well to the floor but for more comfort, you can add, if you wish, an anti-slip. It is an easy-going, non-messy carpet that is suitable for all rooms of an apartment: from the entrance to the kitchen, the living room and even when you get out of bed. Unlike berber carpets whose strands of wool are knotted one after the other, the kilim is a flat woven carpet and is therefore less dense and thick. Kilim is a turkish word meaning woven textile, it is used throughout the arab world where carpets woven flat are made. Like berber carpets, the kilim carries a very strong cultural identity and represents the tribe in which it is woven. Thus, its patterns, colors and wool vary according to its geographical origin. It can be white or ecru, decorated with black or brown patterns or a profusion of shimmering colors. So you are spoilt for choice to choose the one that will best suit your interior decoration!.
