3'2x13'4 ft Antique Afghan Hand-Woven Kilim Runner | Dense Geometric & Diamond Band Repeat | Faded Rose Red Deep Teal Ivory | Hallway

About this rug

A rare and extraordinarily detailed antique hand-woven wool kilim runner in a beautifully aged palette of faded rose red, deep teal, navy, and ivory. The long narrow field is organized into a rich succession of horizontal geometric bands — each band carrying its own distinct motif, creating a varied, endlessly detailed surface that rewards close inspection from end to end.
The banding alternates between broad rose red ground sections filled with scattered diamond and cross motifs in ivory and teal, and bold deep teal bands packed with repeating geometric forms — hooked diamonds, stepped lozenges, arrow elements, and small medallions — all rendered with remarkable precision. A continuous vertical ivory spine runs down the very centre of the runner, linking the bands together with a subtle axis and adding an architectural quality to the composition.
The aged, softened palette gives this runner a quiet, sophisticated beauty — the rose red has mellowed to a warm dusty tone, the teal retains its depth, and the ivory stands out with crisp contrast. A dense geometric border with repeating zigzag and diamond elements frames both long sides. Natural pale fringe at both short ends.
Flat-woven and durable underfoot. At 3'2 x 13'4 ft an exceptionally long antique runner — a genuine collector's piece with extraordinary age character and artisan detail.
