The Embroidered Kelim: A Premium Hand-Woven Kelim with Raised Pattern
The Embroidered Kelim is a hand-woven geometric kelim from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Kelim Collection, this flat-weave rug is woven in India from 60% wool, 20% bamboo silk, and 20% cotton. What sets the Embroidered Kelim apart is its raised pattern design, where additional yarn is stitched onto the flat-weave base to create a textured, dimensional motif.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted with 60% wool, 20% bamboo silk, and 20% cotton, the Embroidered Kelim combines the durability of a flat-weave kelim with the tactile richness of embroidery. The wool provides structure and warmth, the bamboo silk adds a subtle sheen to the embroidered details, and the cotton keeps the flat-weave base stable. Our yarns are batch-dyed by hand, producing natural abrash variations that make each rug unique.
Styling Your Embroidered Kelim
The multicolour embroidered motifs in biscuit, blue, brown, and yellow make the Embroidered Kelim a statement piece. It works well in eclectic, bohemian, and contemporary interiors where a textured, artistic rug can take centre stage. The flat-weave base keeps the rug practical for living rooms and dining areas, while the raised embroidery adds a level of craftsmanship that invites a closer look.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting without a beater bar to protect the raised embroidery. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the bamboo silk from fading. Professional cleaning is recommended every 12 to 18 months. Learn more about
