Maimana Afghan kilim rugs are traditional, flat-woven rugs from the Maimana region in Afghanistan, known for their vibrant colors, intricate geometric patterns, and durability. Made primarily from locally sourced wool dyed with natural dyes, these rugs feature bold designs such as diamonds and tribal symbols, reflecting the weavers' cultural heritage. Their rich and varied color palette includes deep reds, blues, greens, and earthy tones. Lightweight and versatile, Maimana kilims can be used as floor coverings, wall hangings, or decorative throws. These rugs are a significant part of Afghan cultural heritage, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Full of tiny details and a bold expressive checkerboard design combined with warm earth-tone colors, this hand-woven wool vintage Afghani Kilim rug is a captivating vision of woven beauty. The abrashed field is composed of a checkerboard pattern comprised of alternating colored squares outlined with tiny diamonds. Double horizontal geometric bands frame either end of the rug giving it a sense of order and definition. Gentle waves of abrash and variations in wear soften the otherwise bold geometric design. The striking checkerboard pattern imbues this flatweave Kilim rug with immense visual interest and graphic appeal. From Saltillo and talavera to austere elegance and rustic charm, this vintage kilim area rug is the perfect complement to Mexican villas, bucolic Mediterranean chateaus, Modern adobes, and Hacienda ranch homes.
