Afghan Kilim Hand-knotted Striped Rug (12' x 19')

Product Features:

Kilim rug design originates from Maimana, an area suspected to have been settled in Paleolithic times due to the numerous cave dwellings discovered there

Exceptional rug features rich tones in black, ivory, purple, green, blue and red

Master Worldstock weavers in India have managed to replicate this pattern, using the same traditional techniques as their Iranian counterparts
For ages, this remote area has been a trading center, significantly contributing to the business of the great silk routes
Kilims are known as 'pileless' rugs; the design is also known as 'slitweave'

Story Behind the Art:

Kilims are flat weave rugs originally produced in a village or tribal environment. The designs of kilims tend to be geometric often incorporating various symbolic motifs. A prominent characteristic of kilim rugs is the slits along the warp of the rug wherever there is a change of color. Since older kilims were usually woven on smaller portable looms it is difficult to find them in large sizes. Today new kilims are produced in a full range of sizes at very affordable prices.
