6'10x9'5 ft Vintage Afghan Kilim | Handwoven Tribal All-Over Boteh Medallion | Deep Rose Pink & Steel Blue Flatweave Living Room Dining Room

About this rug

A magnificent and deeply complex vintage Afghan kilim of large format — a piece of exceptional weave quality that rewards close inspection with an almost endless richness of detail. The entire field is covered wall-to-wall in a dense, all-over pattern of large and small boteh and paisley forms in deep rose pink, coral, olive gold, navy, teal, and ivory, woven so tightly and so precisely that the surface has the texture and visual depth of fine embroidery. No ground color is visible — every inch is covered in interlocking botanical forms that flow and curl across the field in a continuous, hypnotic repeat.
At the very center of this dense field sits a small but clearly defined central medallion form in pale blue and pink — subtle yet present, anchoring the composition and giving the eye a resting point within the extraordinary surrounding pattern. The field shifts gently in tone from the upper half to the lower, the upper carrying a slightly warmer rose pink ground and the lower a deeper, darker burgundy tone — a natural abrash effect that adds further depth and aged warmth to the overall composition.
The border is bold and beautifully contrasted — a wide steel blue outer frame carries a repeating large diamond and stepped geometric motif in burgundy, ivory, and navy, graphic and clean. A deep crimson red inner border carries a dense repeating tribal boteh and floral motif in teal, ivory, and multicolor — rich and intricately detailed. A narrow navy zigzag guard stripe runs along the very outer edge completing the layered frame. Natural ivory fringe at both short ends.
Flat-woven with no pile — lightweight, reversible, and of outstanding weave quality. At 6'10 x 9'5 ft this is a large, commanding area rug of the finest tribal kilim artistry — a genuine collector's piece of exceptional rarity.
