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?

A kilim is a pileless, flatwoven rug. Its colours, fibres and patterns vary by maker and region. Soumak pieces sometimes appear alongside kilims for browsing, but their wrapping technique is different, so check the construction of the individual rug.

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

Look for a woven surface without the upright knotted pile of a pile rug, then compare clear photographs of the front, back, edges and ends. Ask for the individual rug's construction, materials, origin and condition.

Natural dyes, two identical-looking faces and small pattern irregularities are not reliable proof of authenticity on their own.

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?

For routine care, gently vacuum with low suction and a plain head. Avoid fringe, loose yarns and a rotating beater bar. Ask a rug-cleaning specialist before wet cleaning an older or fragile kilim; do not machine wash or use carpet shampoo without care guidance for that particular piece.

Can kilim rugs be used outdoors?

Handwoven indoor kilims are vulnerable to prolonged sun and damp. Use one outdoors only if its individual product information confirms that it is made for outdoor exposure. A covered patio is not automatically dry, so bring an indoor kilim inside before rain or persistent moisture.

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.
