Add a touch of India to your decor with our enchanting silk Maimana Kilim rug.
This Kilim design originates from Maimana, an area suspected to have been settled in Paleolithic times due to the numerous cave dwellings discovered there. For ages this remote area has been a trading center, significantly contributing to the business of the great silk routes. Kilims are known as 'pileless' rugs; the design is also known as 'slitweave.' These beautiful designs are achieved by interweaving the various colors of the vertical and horizontal strands of the rug. It can be used as a hanging piece or as a floor covering. Master Worldstock weavers in India have managed to replicate this pattern, using the same traditional techniques as their Iranian counterparts. This exceptional piece features rich tones in ivory, brick, green, brown, light green, and grey.
Slight variation in the color, design and size in each piece is normal in handmade rugs. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly. Overstock.com tries to represent all rug colors accurately. Please refer to the text above for a description of the colors shown in the photo. All rug sizes are approximate.

Soft under foot! Nice colors, but not what I expected from the online photo. More green and rust tones than expected. I kept it because I can make it work in a different room. To get a Kilim with silk is unusual, and the price was fair.

We were redoing my son's room and wanted a nice rug that he could sit on to play, made of natural fibers. He loves the softness--the other review was right; it's more like a thick, dense, velour feel--different from the usual thinner rustic wool kilim. The colors are deep browns, very deep purple, dark olive, and dark browny rust, with a small bit of greyish blue. The quality is very nice and well worth the money, I think. The overall effect of the rug is very handsome.

I was surprized by the texture, which was a bit bulkier and more like a thick chenille than I was expecting. The colors are completely different than what's pictured with maroons and purples with yellow khaki highlights giving it a darker, men's sweater-type look, vs. the more mediterranean, lively colors pictured.

Received this rug within a week of placing order and am very happy with my purchase. Quality , workmanship, and appearance are excellent -- price, truly unbelievable! ...after having shopped around locally (including Bloomies rug dept.) and finding silk rugs way over my budget. The illustration (on my monitor) shows blues - but there are NO blues in this rug, and I was very happy about that. The ivory center motif ends in dark brown on the sides.. The smaller ivory motifs (above and below the center one) end in grey. The ivory color is somewhat darker/warmer than shown. Other than that, the colors are close to the illustration. The colors are muted, harmonious, and the rug looks stunning on a light hardwood floor.
