Vintage Afshar Kilim 358x237cm

This distinctive Persian kilim is a rare find, featuring a striking black-and-white interlacing design that wraps around the outer edge—a motif not commonly seen in traditional kilims. The design brings a strong graphic presence to the piece, making it visually bold yet balanced.

The field design is equally uncommon, offering a refreshing departure from conventional tribal patterns. These unique elements are beautifully framed by a soft cream border, which brightens the entire composition and enhances its decorative impact.

Handwoven using high-quality wool and traditional techniques, the kilim boasts a tight, durable flatweave that is both lightweight and practical. While there are a couple of faint areas with colour bleed, they are subtle and do not detract from the kilim’s overall charm or usability.

This piece would serve wonderfully as a statement floor covering, a wall hanging, or an accent under a coffee table or bench. Its unusual design, earthy tones, and fine craftsmanship make it a collector-worthy textile and a talking point in any interior.
