Handwoven in wool, circa 1950-1960, this 2x5 vintage Afghan tribal kilim, is a collectible tribal piece that may have been used as table covers in nomadic daily life, much similar to Persian Sofreh Kilims.
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 kilims, and it’s aged beautifully in kind. As a likely table runner, this Afghan’s construction is especially formidable among flatweaves, and it’s aged beautifully in kind. Drawing on Baluch tribal sensibilities, this archaic piece of art exhibiting an old-world charm enjoys warm gold undertones to meticulous stripes and geometric patterns in rich red, brown, navy blue and similar tones.
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 motifs and stripes in a reserved, sophisticated manner, and its size offers vast design applications, making it well suited to wall-hanging tapestry projects and other decorative purposes.
Condition:
This vintage Afghan tribal kilim 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. less
