Afghan Chobi Kilim Hand-Woven Wool Rug - 177 x 129 cm

The pleasure of this Chobi Kilim lies in the small changes within its repeating pattern. Ivory centres brighten the rust-orange diamonds, while teal, blue, green and ochre interrupt the warm ground. Along the edges, hooked motifs travel across an ivory border, giving the closely patterned field a lighter frame.

Hand-woven in Afghanistan from wool, the rug has the flat profile and crisp geometry characteristic of a kilim. Rust orange sits naturally alongside timber and terracotta; the cooler accents offer colours to pick up in artwork or upholstery. Its pattern holds together at a glance, with smaller variations to enjoy as you look more closely.
