5'1x8 Vintage Afghan Tribal Kilim | Flat Weave Wool Area Kilim | Red Navy Ivory Floral Diamond Medallion Kilim | Bohemian Living Room Kilim

About this rug

Bring home a truly exquisite and finely crafted piece of nomadic flat weave artistry with this stunning vintage Afghan kilim, measuring exactly 5'1" x 8'. This is a genuine flat weave kilim — with no pile — hand woven by skilled tribal weavers using outstanding craftsmanship and traditional techniques passed down through generations, making it a lightweight, reversible, and highly collectible textile of exceptional quality and refinement. The field is divided into two beautifully contrasting halves — a vivid crimson red upper field and a deep navy blue lower field — both densely packed with an extraordinary all-over repeating pattern of tiny floral boteh and geometric tribal motifs in pink, sky blue, ivory, gold, olive green, and burgundy — creating a breathtakingly rich and jewel-like textured surface. At the very center a magnificent elongated pointed diamond medallion in ivory and sky blue rises dramatically across both fields — itself densely filled with the same intricate floral geometric pattern — creating a stunning focal point that unifies the two contrasting field colors into one harmonious and elegant composition. The wide crimson red border is densely filled with a repeating row of geometric floral boteh motifs in multicolor on red, framed by narrow grey and silver guard stripes, finished with original hand-tied fringe on both ends.
