74277 Vintage Afghan Maimana Kilim Rug, 09'10 x 12'11.
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 colors, these rugs feature bold designs such as diamonds and tribal symbols, reflecting the weavers' cultural heritage. Lightweight and versatile, Maimana kilims can serve as floor coverings, wall hangings, bedspreads, or furniture throws. They hold significant cultural value, with the craft passed down through generations, making each piece a testament to Afghan artistry and tradition.
Highlighting Primitive charm and nomadic tribal vibes, this handwoven wool vintage Afghan Ghalmouri Maimana Kilim rug beautifully showcases Mid-Century Modern style. It features an all-over diamond lattice pattern composed of ancient Afghani protection symbols. A series of stepped lozenges form the main lattice and outlined with alternating colors creating an Expansion effect. A Ram's Horn guard band encloses the field flanked with a crenelated fence outer guard band and subsidiary sawtooth stripes. Themes of protection in geometric symbols are prevalent in this vintage Afghani Kilim rug. This depth of meaning presented in a bold, clean form is what make Afghan Kilim rugs such wonderful additions to nearly any space.
