02Highlights

Four things that set this rug apart

Wool surface

On the surface: Wool, Silk, Cotton. The shine of the rug, its weight and what its care asks all follow from that choice.

Tribal pattern layout

Tribal pattern. The ground and the motif are not parts of separate processes but of the same weave; the two advance together. The ground tone is colorful.

Professional cleaning

Cleaning method: Professional cleaning. What wears a rug down over the years is not a stain but the dust that settles at the base of the pile and grinds the fibers from inside with every step.

03Specifications

Technical details

The nature of handwork: Every woven rug is made one at a time, so sizes and color tones can vary by up to 3%. Small irregularities where the yarns cross are not faults; they are the signature of the weave.

The story of this rug

What catches the eye first on this kilim is not the figures but the cream ground left between them. Handwoven in the soumak technique from wool, cotton and silk, it measures 123 × 193 cm (4'0" × 6'4") and was woven in the Middle East. In soumak, colored yarn is wrapped around the warps, giving a layered surface with no pile.

01A line from the archive

Unlike a plain kilim, its front and back look different. Three large hooked medallions stand one above the other in the field, their coral-red centers outlined in dark navy. Birds, small animal figures, eight-pointed stars and flowers are scattered between them; the bird is one of the figures most often found on kilims.

02After the color

Navy, red and cream borders run around the edge in rows, the navy one framing the openness of the cream ground. About 2.4 square meters, a size for the foot of a bed, a reading corner or an entryway.

03Up close to the pattern

Because the pattern is dense, the figures stay legible beside a plain sofa or a single-color bedspread. Repeating the coral red in a cushion and the navy in a picture frame ties the room to the kilim; if the walls stay off-white, the cream ground carries the same tone. Turned over, it shows loose yarn ends on the back; that is how soumak is woven.

A long look at the surface, the edge finish and the sizes.

Which size fits your room?

The most common mistake in choosing a rug is buying too small. Here are the numbers, room by room:

Living room

At least the front legs of the sofas should sit on the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor showing around it.

Recommended: 200×290 · 240×340 · 300×380

Dining room

It should extend 60–75 cm beyond every edge of the table, so chairs do not catch when pulled back.

Recommended: 200×290 · 250×250 · 240×340

Bedroom

Either cover the lower two-thirds of the bed, or choose a size that extends 60–90 cm on three sides.

Recommended: 170×240 · 200×290 · 240×340

Hallway · runner

Choose one 25–30 cm shorter than the hallway, leaving 10–15 cm of floor on each side.

Recommended: 80×290 · 90×390 · 90×490

Care — three rules

Vacuum regularly

Use a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Once a week is enough; dust is lifted before it settles between the yarns.

Treat spills before they dry

Blot, do not rub. Dampen with a suitable cleaner and dry.

Leave washing to a professional

Household machines are not suitable for woven rugs. One professional wash a year is recommended.

Frequently asked

Which size should I choose for a living room?

At least the front legs of your sofas should sit on the rug. For a standard living room 200 × 290 cm is recommended; for wide rooms 240 × 340 cm or 300 × 380 cm. The scale plan on this page shows how much of a 520 × 420 cm room each size covers.

How long does shipping take, and what does it cost?

For international orders, shipping, duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and paid in advance; there is no cash on delivery. Rugs in stock leave Ankara within 1–3 business days.

Can I return it if I do not like it?

Yes. You can return it within 14 days of delivery, no questions asked. On international orders return shipping is paid by the buyer.

Will the color match what I see on screen?

Small differences in tone are possible depending on your screen. Open the images full screen to study the surface, and watch the review video where there is one. If you want to be sure, you can see the rug in person at our showroom in Çankaya, Ankara.

Can the rug be used over underfloor heating?

It depends on the pile height. Low-pile woven rugs work with underfloor heating and do not block the heat. If you are unsure, send the product code to Client Services on WhatsApp.

How does the price change between sizes?

Pricing is by the square meter. The price per square meter is shown next to the price, and it updates as you select a size.

Can I see the rug in Ankara?

Yes. At our showroom in Çankaya, Ankara you can see the rugs in this series and touch the weave. No appointment is needed.

Can I ask for a size that is not listed?

Custom sizes can be woven in many series. Send your measurements on WhatsApp and we will come back with a production time and a price.
