About This Kelim
Where it comes from
This is a kilim, also written kelim, a flatweave from Kordestan in Iran's Kurdish west, 280 x 200 cm (9'2" x 6'7"). Woven rather than knotted, kilims of this kind are prized for a light, flexible handle and for patterns bold enough to read the same way from either side, since both faces are finished equally.
What you see
The field opens in a warm apricot, over which lies a dense lattice of rosettes and serrated leaves in navy — the Mahi pattern. At the centre sits a navy medallion, its outline moving in short steps rather than a smooth curve, pendants reaching toward each corner. Ivory traces the finer lines of the lattice, with olive and mustard scattered through as quiet accents. A wide brick-red border closes the field, held in place by narrow teal-blue guard stripes.
How it was made
That stepped edge is a mark of the technique, not an accident of drawing: a flatweave is built from interlocking coloured wefts across a cotton warp, and a weft can turn a corner but not bend a curve, so a round motif is redrawn as geometry. The wool is hand-spun, giving the colour a slightly uneven, living surface rather than machine flatness. At barely 4 mm thick the weave stays close and firm, the design reading as clearly on the back as on the front.
At home
This kilim suits a dining room or a living room seating group, laid under a table or before a sofa. The apricot ground warms a pale floor, and the navy medallion holds its own against darker furniture. Underfoot it lies close and flat, ready for daily use, reversible so it can be turned when one side has had its years. Afternoon light catches its stepped edges, and the pattern seems to shift.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 280 × 200 cm (5.60 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
No — this piece is hand-woven, not knotted. A flatweave has no pile: the pattern comes from warp and weft alone. That makes it thin, light and usable on both sides, and it is a technique in its own right rather than a simpler version of a knotted rug.
How do I care for this rug?
Vacuum regularly, ideally along the weave and without a rotating brush. A flatweave can be turned over, which spreads the wear — flip it once or twice a year. Blot spills at once with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards, and never rub.
