Handwoven in wool, this 2x5 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 field and black border, with some navy blue and white accents in the few geometric patterns at play making it a simple tribal rug of a humble palette, yet no-less rich and personal to admirers of the craft—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.
