5x12'11 Antique Afghan Kilim Runner | Flat Weave Wool Hallway Runner Deep Red Ivory Vertical Stripe Geometric Kilim Runner Staircase Runner

About this rug

Bring home a truly breathtaking and museum-worthy piece of nomadic flat weave artistry with this extraordinary antique Afghan kilim runner, measuring exactly 5' x 12'11". This is a genuine flat weave kilim — with no pile — hand woven by skilled tribal weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, making it a lightweight, reversible, and exceptionally collectible textile with deep age and authentic tribal soul. The magnificent deep burgundy-crimson red field is boldly structured with a striking all-over vertical stripe layout — tall ivory columns run the full length of the runner, each column filled with intricate repeating geometric diamond, eye, cross, and arrow motifs in ivory, orange, green, and gold — creating a breathtaking ladder-like vertical rhythm that draws the eye along the full 13-foot length of this impressive piece. Between the ivory columns the rich red field is filled with densely packed horizontal bands of geometric tribal filler motifs, zigzag lines, and small diamond accents in orange, green, and ivory — adding extraordinary depth and layering to the overall composition. The bottom end features a bold panel of repeating geometric square and diamond border motifs in orange and ivory, finished with original thick hand-twisted decorative fringe tassels — a rare and beautiful finishing detail that adds to the ceremonial character of this exceptional piece.
