Vintage Afghan Kilim Scatter Rug, With Geometric Patterns From Rug & Kilim

Handwoven in wool, this 3×5 vintage Afghan tribal kilim scatter rug, circa 1950-1960, is an exquisite tribal addition to the Rug & Kilim collection.

On the Design:

Drawing on Afghan tribal sensibilities, this archaic piece of art exhibiting an old-world charm has a construction that is especially formidable among flatweaves, and it’s aged beautifully in kind. Keen eyes alike will note brick red with geometric patterns in the form of its borders, where midnight blue underscores colorful textural accents married to many of the geometric patterns in the form of playful punctuation to a rich, warm tribal rug like this—makes for both the versatile and personal look it offers.

Connoisseurs may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional area rugs of its period. It’s a fine play of rustic geometric patterns in a reserved, sophisticated manner, and its size offers vast design applications.

Condition:

This vintage Afghan tribal kilim scatter rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. It is a very collectible piece, ready for the floor and size is also well suited to wall-hanging tapestry projects and other decorative purposes.
