Hand-Woven Wool Kilim Afghan Rug, 211 × 293 cm

The piece in short

This Kilim comes from Afghanistan and measures 211 × 293 cm. It covers approximately 6.18 m², or 6.9' × 9.6'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Weave

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

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.
