Know before you buy
As a flatweave Kilim, this rug has no pile, meaning it is thin, lightweight, and lies very flush to the floor. It provides a firm, textured surface rather than a plush or cushioned feel.
The two quarter-sized seam splits are minor and can be easily reinforced with a needle and thread if you are concerned about them widening. The age spotting is a natural part of the rug's vintage history and should be viewed as a characteristic of its authentic, worn-in aesthetic.
Yes, the 100% wool construction is naturally durable and resilient, making it well-suited for high-traffic areas like hallways. We recommend using a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and to provide a bit of extra cushioning.
Because this is a vintage, hand-woven piece, the exposure to light and wear over time has created subtle differences in the desert-toned hues on each side. This variation is a hallmark of authentic Kilim rugs and allows you to choose the side that best complements your specific space.
For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to avoid damaging the weave. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the wool fibers and the vintage dyes.
