Vintage Afghan Transitional Red and Beige Wool Kilim Rug by Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Originating from Afghanistan in 1970, this vintage transitional Afghan Kilim features a combination of distinct and uncommon Persian symbols in its all-over field design. Flat-woven in a tight wool pile, the field motif employs a geometric floral pattern resembling many trees of life depictions (symbolizing eternity and renewal) in deep brown with red floral accents against a rural beige background, complemented by the meandering inner border likely symbolizing running water. The more pronounced border, however, has symbols resembling rotated crosses to ward off bad spirits, or the “evil eye” in some dialects, employing the universal hues of crimson red, rich brown, and beige throughout the portrait.

    Located in Long Island City, NY
    Originating from East Turkestan in (year), this mid century transitional Khotan rug from Rug & Kilim features a finely woven, uncommonly repetitious all over field design. Hand woven in high quality wool, a unique contrast is employed between the non-outlined pink field symbols and the richly outlined depictions throughout the borders, likely intended to highlight the important regional symbolism in the center. The field celebrates continuously drawn pomegranates on branches with seedlings (important Khotan symbols of fertility and bounty) against the beige and earthen brown border, strongly resembling a harvest field. The multiple borders also wrap continuously around the field, but feature an assortment of eastern symbols such as royal Chinese...
