Wool Kilim Afghan Rug 176 × 234 cm, hand-woven

The piece in short

This Kilim comes from Afghanistan and measures 176 × 234 cm. That is roughly 4.12 m² of floor, about 5.8' × 7.7'.

Materials and construction

The weave is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-woven.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

How it is made

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
