Vintage Afshar Kilim 300x225cm

This decorative vintage Afshar kilim stands out not only for its bold visual appeal but also for its rare and practical room-size dimensions. While most vintage Persian kilims tend to be small or long and narrow, this piece offers a broader layout—ideal for use under a dining table or as a striking focal point in a living space.

Woven by the Afshar tribes of southeastern Iran, this flatweave features a rhythmic lozenge (diamond) pattern, skillfully framed by a jagged geometric border that adds depth and energy to the design. The ends are finished with vibrant color strips that bring additional charm and visual balance.

Of particular note is the craftsmanship at the fringes: one end has been tightly bound into a reinforced stop-end, a traditional technique that significantly increases the kilim’s durability and resistance to wear. This practical detail enhances the lifespan of the piece, making it both a functional and beautiful investment.

Crafted from handspun wool and dyed using natural pigments, this Afshar kilim offers the authenticity and rich heritage expected of tribal Persian textiles. Its durability, striking design, and generous size make it an excellent choice for collectors, interior designers, or homeowners looking for a statement rug with historical charm.
