Woven by village artisans in northern Afghanistan, this contemporary kilim is a flat-woven wool rug built on traditional looms and finished with native fringe at both ends. Its pattern is a disciplined diamond lattice packed with tiny hooked tribal motifs—an inherited language of geometry that Afghan weavers have refined for generations—reinterpreted here in a modern palette of denim and slate blue offset by warm ivory. Because it is a true kilim (no pile), the weave is slim, durable, and fully reversible, making it practical for high-traffic rooms and easy to place beneath dining chairs or doors. The wool gives a natural softness underfoot and inherent resilience to everyday use, while the crisp selvedges and even handle speak to careful workmanship.
This piece reads contemporary without abandoning its roots: the graphic repeat and cool tonal field lend clarity and calm, yet the hand-made irregularities keep it alive in the light. Style it as a clean foundation in living or dining spaces, layer it over sisal for texture, or use it to anchor a home office where low profile and stability matter. Regular vacuuming and an underlay are recommended; professional rug washing only. If you share the exact measurements, I’ll tailor the placement guidance to your room.
