Modern Kilims 

In the early 20th century, a wave of modernism swept across the artistic landscape, bringing a fresh perspective to kilims. Visionary artists embraced geometric abstraction, simplifying art to its purest form. Their bold compositions and precise arrangements found their way into rug design, giving birth to the modernist movement that still captivates us.

In this ever-evolving world, Jaipur Rugs emerges as a custodian of kilim artistry, honoring this timeless legacy through their remarkable collections in India. We celebrate the history of kilims through our Nuray collection.
