Handwoven in wool, circa 1950-1960, this 4x5 vintage Afghan tribal kilim, with stripes, in red and beige/brown, across the surface, makes it a rich addition to the Rug & Kilim Collection. On the Design: Originating from Afghanistan, this kilim rug features a series of stripes in shades of red and beige/brown. Each stripe is meticulously woven, creating a harmonious pattern that runs throughout the rug. The use of stripes in Afghan kilims holds cultural significance and is a distinct characteristic of traditional tribal designs. Striped pieces like this were often woven from several long, narrow pieces into one, due to the fact that the weavers had to work in smaller spaces, which makes these Afghan kilims richer and versatile artworks. Condition: This mid-century Afghan rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Furthermore, its promotional price is in support of the women of Afghanistan.
