Kilim Tribal Handwoven Rug 2’1’’ X 8’

A kilim runner that brings tribal geometry and flatweave heritage into hallways and narrow spaces—reversible construction and artisan integrity in an elongated format.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-woven by Afghan artisans using traditional flatweave techniques, this 2'1" × 8' piece reflects the disciplined geometry and vibrant palette characteristic of Central Asian kilim-making. The flatweave construction—created by tightly interlocking warp and weft threads—requires exceptional technical skill and pattern memory. Woven on a traditional loom with careful attention to motif clarity and color distribution, the reversible design extends longevity and versatility.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural dyes, the rug features a rich palette of traditional tribal colors—terracotta, charcoal, ivory, and rust—arranged in rhythmic geometric bands. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior strength, softness, and ability to hold vibrant dyes—creates a flatweave construction ideal for layering or high-traffic areas, with durability that improves with age. Each pass of the weft thread contributes to a surface of remarkable tactile density.

Design & Aesthetic
Traditional tribal motifs—diamonds, chevrons, and geometric patterns—create visual movement across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The 2'1" × 8' runner format (approximately 17 square feet) makes this piece ideal for hallways, entryways, galley kitchens, or layering beneath larger rugs. The narrow profile works beautifully in tight spaces while maintaining visual impact.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 2'1" × 8'. Reversible design extends longevity. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
