Multicolour Afghan Chobi Kilim - 248 x 172 cm - Stepped Diamonds

Ivory outlines link rows of colourful diamonds across a deep navy ground. Inside each one, small angular forms meet in red, yellow, turquoise, pink and lilac. Larger geometric motifs travel around the navy border, giving the lively field a strong frame.

Hand-woven in Afghanistan from wool, this Chobi kilim combines a flatwoven surface with bold colour. Its repeated geometry keeps the composition ordered, while the changing colour combinations give every row a different rhythm.
