Kilim Rugs

A kilim is flatwoven, not knotted — the weft is packed tightly between the warps rather than tied around them, so there is no pile. That single difference is why a kilim is reversible, sits almost flush with the floor, and takes traffic the way few rugs can.

Ours are woven by hand in wool. Maimana kilims come from northern Afghanistan in warm reds, rusts and indigo. Kafkas pieces follow Caucasian banded geometry. Natural kilims are left undyed, in the sheep's own ivory, oatmeal and charcoal. Because a kilim has no pile to crush, it works where a thick rug will not — under a door that swings, beneath a dining chair that drags, layered over a larger rug, or in a hallway.

Every piece here is one we hold in Houston. Sizes run from a 2x3 accent to a 9x12 room rug.
