Afghan Chobi Kilim Handwoven Wool Runner - 291 x 80 cm Black Diamond Spine

A black diamond spine runs the full length of this Afghan Chobi Kilim runner, giving its many colours a strong sense of direction. Coral, turquoise, lilac, sage, rust orange, blue and yellow shift through stepped geometric forms on an ivory ground, while larger diamonds near the ends give the composition a bold finish. Dark outlines hold the lively pattern together as the surrounding colours change from one section to the next.

Handwoven in Afghanistan from wool, its flatweave construction keeps every angular transition crisp and the profile light. Laid through a hallway or another narrow space, the runner draws the eye forward while bringing colour and clearly defined pattern to the floor.
