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.
