About this rug

A breathtaking vintage Afghan kilim of large format and museum-quality weave fineness — a piece of extraordinary sophistication that combines a dramatic two-tone field composition with one of the most intricately detailed medallion designs in the Afghan kilim tradition. The field is boldly divided into two contrasting halves — the upper portion carries a warm crimson red ground and the lower half a deep midnight navy ground — both densely packed with an all-over repeating fine boteh and geometric form in a rich palette of coral, ivory, steel blue, olive gold, and lavender, woven so tightly the surface has the quality of fine tapestry.
Rising through both field sections is a magnificent large elongated diamond medallion in ivory and crimson, its stepped angular edges building outward in precise geometric layers, its pointed tip extending dramatically downward into the navy lower field and its upper arch curving into an elegant mihrab-like point at the top. The medallion interior is filled with a dense fine trellis and diamond lattice pattern in crimson and steel blue that glows against the ivory ground — luminous and jewel-like. A single tiny diamond in teal marks the very center with quiet precision.
The border system is rich and multi-layered — a wide steel blue outer frame carries a continuous dense tribal boteh and floral scroll in crimson, coral, navy, and ivory along both long sides. A wide crimson red inner border frames the field cleanly, and a broad crimson end band at the bottom carries a remarkable row of large stylized bird and floral forms in navy, teal, olive, and ivory — a rare and exquisite pictorial detail that elevates this piece far beyond the ordinary. A pale steel blue trefoil and floral stripe separates the end band from the main field border. Natural ivory fringe at both short ends.
Flat-woven with no pile — exceptionally fine weave, lightweight, and fully reversible. At 6'7 x 9'3 ft this is a commanding, room-defining kilim of the very highest collector quality.
