On the Design:

A striking relic of tribal artistry, this vintage Afghan kilim evokes an archaic sensibility infused with quiet strength. Its construction, particularly robust for a flatweave, bears the kind of enduring beauty that only time bestows. Woven in a compelling polychromatic palette, the rug balances deep earthy tones with accents of red, blue, and green, creating a sophisticated dialogue between geometry and color. It features a beige field punctuated by a rhythmic procession of serrated arrow-like motifs—sharp, symmetrical, and steeped in ancient symbolism. Though modest in size, its design vocabulary speaks volumes, offering immense versatility—ideal not only as a table runner or narrow accent piece but also as a wall-hung textile for those curating tactile, heritage-driven interiors. A testament to Baluch tribal sensibilities and artisanal resilience, this kilim exhibits an old-world charm and has aged beautifully in kind.
