Tekkeh Kelim
The Tekkeh Kelim collection is produced from older Persian kelims that have been cut into
smaller pieces and sewn together. Tekkeh means piece, so Tekkeh Kelim means patchwork
rug where many pieces have been sewn together. The rugs are produced from 20 - 50-yearold kelims. They are made using a special weaving technique that gives the rugs a thin,
felt-like quality.
