FAQs

An antique Afghan kilim is a flatwoven textile traditionally crafted by nomadic and tribal weavers in Afghanistan, known for centuries of rich cultural heritage and geometric storytelling.

These rugs are constructed using a flatweaving technique without a pile, traditionally employing hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural vegetable and mineral pigments.

Authentic pieces from the early 20th century typically feature natural variations in hand-spun wool, organic dyes that show subtle abrash, and characteristic tribal geometric motifs hand-knotted or woven by skilled artisans.

This piece can be used to ground a contemporary living space, adding texture and vibrant colour blocks that complement both minimalist modern furniture and eclectic bohemian schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning when necessary, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and fibre wear.
