Kelim Fars Red 51999

These rugs are a type of traditional Persian kelim, originating from the Fars province. Kelim Fars rugs are known for their flat weaves, geometric patterns, and vibrant colors. They represent a long tradition of Iranian craftsmanship and are often used as floor rugs, wall decorations, or even as bedspreads. Fars province is located in the southwest and is home to several nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, such as the Qashqai, who are renowned for their rich tradition of textile art and weaving. Kelim Fars rugs are handwoven using a technique known as weaving or kelim technique, where threads are woven together without the use of knots, creating a flat surface. This technique makes the rugs lighter and more flexible compared to traditional hand-knotted rugs. The patterns on these rugs often reflect the nomadic tribes' culture and lifestyle, with influences from nature and the surrounding environment. The rugs are known for their vibrant and natural colors, often including red, blue, green, yellow, and earth tones. The colors are traditionally made from natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and insects, providing them with an authentic and lasting color. Most Kelim Fars rugs are made of high-quality wool, which is both durable and soft. Wool is the primary material and is used for both the warp and weft, making the rugs strong and wear-resistant. Kelim Fars rugs are flat-woven, meaning they do not have a pile like traditional knotted rugs. This makes them lighter and easier to maintain. These rugs are very versatile and can be used both as floor rugs and as decorative elements on walls or furniture. They are also popular as bedspreads and tablecloths. These rugs are very durable and can last for many years with proper care. They are a good investment for those looking for a long-lasting and beautiful rug that also has cultural significance. Unlike traditional Persian knotted rugs, which have a high pile and a more complex structure, Kelim Fars rugs are flat-woven and have a simpler, more geometric design. Some Kelim Fars rugs have gained international recognition for their unique and artistic patterns. These rugs are often sought after by collectors and art lovers and can be found in museums and galleries worldwide as examples of Persian art and craftsmanship.
