REZAS KELIM RUGS
Kelim Kashghai
Kelim Kashghai is a flat woven rug that is woven by nomads in the south of Persia.
The tribes use a special technique when weaving, giving the rug a thinner and flat
surface with no pile. They are incredibly robust, durable and known for looking great
for decades. As there is no top or bottom, both sides can be used – further prolonging the colours and lifespan of the rug. The colours and materials are all-natural and
follow many hundreds of years of tradition.
Kelims are produced in several regions and under many names, but the most popular
Kelim types are Seneh, Sumak, Fars, and Kelim Kashghai.
