Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Afghan Rug, 208 × 298 cm

At a glance

Origin Afghanistan, format 208 × 298 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.2 m² of floor, about 6.8' × 9.8'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Where it fits

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

Weave

Woven pieces of this kind are thin, reversible, and much lighter than knotted rugs.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
