Kilim Afghan Rug 203 × 306 cm in Wool, hand-woven

At a glance

Origin Afghanistan, format 203 × 306 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 6.21 m² (6.7' × 10').

What it is made of

The weave is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-woven throughout.

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

How it is made

As a flatweave this piece has no pile: front and back carry the same pattern, and it lies very flat.

How it reads

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