Afghan Pashtun Kilim Runner 202 x 60 cm

This authentic and handcrafted piece will give your interior decoration a touch of color and bohemian. This wool kilim is a unique piece hand-woven by pashtun men. This is a dominant ethnic group in afghanistan, established mainly in the south and east of the country as well as in the northwestern province of pakistan. These kilims, which are characterized by various geometric shapes, colored or not, are part of the traditional culture of this originally nomadic people. These kilims have the particularity of being able to be used on both sides. They are very resistant thanks to their dense weave, and are easy to maintain. They adhere well to the floor but for more comfort, you can add, if you wish, a non-slip. It is an easy-to-live-with rug, not very dirty and suitable for all rooms of an apartment: from the entrance to the kitchen, the living room and even at the bottom of the bed. The kilim is a flat-woven rug and is therefore less dense and thick than a wool strand rug. "kilim" is a turkish word meaning woven textile, it is used throughout the arab world where flat-woven rugs are made. Like berber rugs, the kilim carries a very strong cultural identity and represents the tribe in which it is woven. Thus, its patterns, colors and wool vary depending on its geographical origin. You are therefore spoiled for choice to choose the one that will best match your interior decoration!.
