This gorgeous vintage Afghan Maimana kilim is handwoven in a flatweave technique, featuring a striking geometric field composed of repeated diamond and stepped motifs arranged in rhythmic symmetry. The palette includes deep, earthy browns, rust red, muted indigo, soft beige, and hints of teal, framed by bold tribal borders with zigzag and latch-hook-inspired elements. Known for their durability and strong nomadic character, Maimana kilims are woven by Uzbek and Turkmen communities in northern Afghanistan and were traditionally used as floor coverings or tent furnishings, making this piece a warm, graphic addition to hallways, living spaces, or as a decorative wall textile.
Authentic vintage and antique Afghan kilims are handwoven with cotton and wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your kilim in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your kilim rug.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
