Rug material

Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A hand-woven kilim from Afghanistan, made in 100% hand-spun wool. The burgundy field is built entirely from horizontal bands — fine woven stripes alternating with rows of soumak embroidery carrying diamonds, hooks, rosettes and small paired motifs in orange, ivory, teal, indigo and plum.

Rather than a single wide border, the panel is framed by concentric bands of zigzag and diamond repeats, and the rug finishes at both ends with broad plain stripes of red and indigo before the ivory fringe. Being a flatweave it is thin, light and reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.

Care instructions

  • Always use a rug pad underneath — a flatweave slips easily without one.
  • Vacuum gently with the beater bar off, working along the bands rather than across them.
  • Turn the kilim over every year — it is reversible and wears evenly if used both sides.
  • Blot spills immediately, working from the outside in.
  • Have the kilim professionally cleaned when needed — never machine wash.

Look closely and this is really two techniques in one cloth. The plain stripes are kilim, woven flat as part of the fabric itself. The rows of diamonds and hooks between them are soumak, a wrapping stitch worked over the warps afterwards, which sits proud of the surface and gives the rug a raised, almost embroidered texture. Weavers alternate them because soumak is slow and heavy while kilim is fast and thin, so banding the two together produces something durable and richly patterned without taking a year to make. No two bands here carry the same combination, which is the mark of a piece worked from memory rather than a drawing. Thin, light and reversible, it suits a wall or a layer over a larger rug as readily as the floor.
