Kilim Rugs - Rug the Rock

Handmade Kilim Rugs for Sale

The current selection brings together available flatweaves from several weaving traditions. Rug the Rock's kilim inventory can include Afghan Maimana pieces, Persian Shiraz and Qashqai examples, Turkish Kars and Uşak Eşme kilims, and selected Caucasian or Moroccan Soumaks. Runner formats sit alongside small, room-size and larger pieces, while origins, colors and dimensions change as individual rugs sell.

A kilim has a flatwoven surface rather than a knotted pile. Soumak is also pileless, but its wrapping structure can create a different surface and handle. The collection brings both terms together for practical browsing, without implying that every piece has the same weave, fibre, age or reversibility.

Compare Construction, Size and Placement

Begin with the exact dimensions on the product page. Long, narrow flatweaves may fit hallways, kitchens or the side of a bed, while larger examples can define seating and dining areas. A suitable rug pad can add grip and cushioning on smooth floors. Door clearance, furniture movement and the condition of edges and ends should be checked for the specific rug.

Each listing is the final authority for construction, materials, origin, condition and repairs. A category label cannot establish those facts for every rug, and it should not be used to assume identical care or traffic suitability.

Browse Kilims by Origin and Format

Compare Afghan rugs and kilims, Turkish rugs and kilims, Qashqai rugs and kilims, runner rugs and the wider Persian Rugs collection. For historical and structural context, use our illustrated guide to Persian rug types. Greater Toronto Area customers can request Rug N' Roll to try selected pieces in their own space.

FAQ

What are kilim rugs?

Originating from the Middle East (probably Anatolia), kilim rugs are made by hand with traditional flatweaving techniques that produce bold, sharp geometric and linear patterns.

These pileless rugs feature various colors of wefts and warps that are interwoven and can be placed on both floors and walls as decorative and functional pieces.

How can you tell if you’re purchasing a real kilim rug?

Authentic kilim rugs are flatwoven, meaning that they shouldn’t have a thick pile. They should also be made from natural, vegetable-based dyes rather than synthetic ones, and feature patterns on both sides.

Another way of identifying a real kilim weave is with pattern irregularities that demonstrate handmade craftsmanship.

Are there any differences between a kilim and a pile rug?

Kilim rugs are different from traditional pile rugs, as a unique type of weave is used to create them.

While kilim rug designs are crafted by interweaving wefts and warps of various colors, creating a flatweave, with a pile rug short strands of wool are knotted and pressed together to form a pile.

How should I clean my kilim rug?

To keep your kilim rugs in pristine condition, try shaking and beating them to remove any dirt that’s settled in between the fibers.

Avoid using a washing machine or harsh detergents as this can cause permanent damage to the material, and instead get your rug cleaned professionally by a service that specializes in this area.

Can kilim rugs be used outdoors?

While we don't recommend using handwoven wool kilims outdoors, they have traditionally been used in open areas by nomads.

This means they can still be used to jazz up any outdoor area, including your backyard, patio, porch, or mudroom.

Kilims intended for outdoor use should be made from weather-resistant materials to withstand outdoor conditions and can also be taken out for a picnic or placed by the poolside.

How can I style a kilim rug?

One effective way of styling your kilim rug is by layering it with another flatwoven or low pile rug; choose the larger rug in a plain color or more subdued pattern and place the bolder kilim on top.

When styling your rug around other pieces of furniture, choose a neutral color scheme to help the kilim’s geometric motifs stand out.
