Afghan Chobi Kilim Blue Medallion Rug - 196 x 155 cm

A rust-red lattice links blue and turquoise diamond medallions across this Afghan Chobi Kilim rug. Orange centres and olive accents enliven the mottled grey ground, while an ivory outer border repeats a neat row of grey triangles.

Hand-woven in Afghanistan from wool, the flatweave carries a fine horizontal texture through its colours. The diamonds fill the field in a close, continuous pattern, leaving the lighter border to give the design a little breathing space.
