Origin
Luminous colours and simple, geometric patterns – that is what Kelim rugs are loved for all over the world. Kelims (also written Kilim, Qilim) were traditionally made for the weavers' own use only. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their Kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. Because Kelims were constant companions in everyday life, their patterns – however naive they may look – always carry a personal message and hold meaning for the weavers and their families.In Europe it is above all Kelims from Turkey, the Caucasus region, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Turkmen cultural area that are known and loved. In fact, rugs are hand-woven in every country where rugs are knotted.
Material
The pile of this Kelim was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural material with a whole range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is thus naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
