Only one available — one-of-a-kind.

A hand-woven kilim from Afghanistan, made in 100% hand-spun wool. The pale wheat-gold field carries a fine diamond lattice worked in soumak embroidery, each compartment holding a small star or floral device in olive, apricot, sage and terracotta, drawn so lightly that the whole field reads as one soft tone from a distance.

Band after band of narrow border frames it — crosses, hooks, rosettes and chevrons in cream, red and pale blue — finishing at a plain 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 weave rather than across it.
  • Turn the kilim over every year — it is reversible and wears evenly if used both sides.
  • Blot spills immediately, working from the outside in. Pale grounds mark more readily than dark ones.
  • Have the kilim professionally cleaned when needed — never machine wash.

Almost every Afghan flatweave is woven on a strong ground — madder red, indigo, deep brown — because the wool takes those dyes best and because a dark surface hides the wear of a working life. A pale one like this is the exception, and it changes the whole character of the piece: the same dense diamond lattice that reads as bold on red becomes quiet here, closer to embroidered linen than to a tribal rug. The colours inside the compartments are held to olive, apricot, sage and terracotta, all within a few tones of the ground, so the pattern emerges slowly rather than announcing itself. It is the easiest of these weavings to live with in a pale room, and the one that will show a spill soonest.
