It is not uncommon to find these rugs at a local retailer, or even bazaars around the globe. \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM TO MEDIUM HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKazak \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Afghan_rug\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vSiufFZBGvE\"\u003eCarpet Production (Video)\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uEx3c-FmwTE\"\u003eDocumentary (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cYYkl3be4Jw\"\u003eLandscapes and Nature (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32461929480266,"sku":"22789","price":119.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_9619.jpg?v=1782497596"},{"product_id":"23240-kelim-hand-knotted-handmade-persian-rug-carpet-tribal-nomadic-authentic","title":"23240 - Kelim Hand-Woven\/Flat Weaved\/ Handmade Afghan Kelim Pillow Cover\/Carpet Tribal\/Nomadic Authentic\/Size: 1'8\" x 1'8\"","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNR:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e23240\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLocation:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKelim\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1'8\" x 1'8\"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCountry:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAfghanistan \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePile:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWool\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBase:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKELIM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKelims are woven carpets in which coloured wefts form the face of the finished weaving.  This term also refers to the pile-less web sometimes found at either or both ends of a pile carpet. They are normally reversible with the exception of the Sumac kelim.  Sometimes a kelim’s design will simply be a series of stripes running across the width of the rug.  However, it’s also common for a kelim to have the same basic design elements as a pile carpet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese smooth rugs are very versatile.  Their colours and design suit contemporary furnishings, and they can be used not only on the floor but as bedspreads, on tables, armchairs and settees, and hanging on the wall.  A kelim has even been found useful to cover up an incurable damp patch on a wall!  They are hardwearing, and as their appearance is exactly the same on both sides, they can be turned over if the colours on one side have faded, to give wear on both sides.  Because they are not as bulky as carpets with a pile, they can be stored, flat or rolled up, in very little space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe main centres of production at the present time are in Persia and Turkey.  Persian kelims come mainly from Shiraz, though today quite a number are coming from Waramin, and the finest still come, as they have always done, from Sine.  The Shiraz and the Waramin tend to use simple, tribal geometric designs; the Waramin particularly look very Caucasian now, and many people take them for Kazaks.  The Sine’s invariable have very fine designs, and for these beautiful rugs the rule that kelims are inexpensive no longer apply;
