All of our Afghan kilims have been chosen for their beautiful vibrant colours whilst being very practical in the home. They are all made from 100% vegetable dyed wool and have the added benefit of being fully reversible. The term kilim is used to describe these stunning flatweave rugs where the wool is wrapped around the warps as opposed to being knotted onto the warps. These originating in Afghanistan are woven in very traditional designs that are passed down through the generations of the weavers.
We would recommend using underlay under our Kilim rugs.

The Afghan Mushwani rugs are unique textiles which are characterised by their intricate geometric patterns and dark colours. These rugs are a blend of both flatweave kelim and hand knotted techniques which create a wonderful contrast in pile heights. They are made from wool using natural vegetable dyes which result in rich tones of deep reds, dark blues and browns. Mushwani rugs make great floor coverings but also serve as symbols of cultural heritage which reflect the craftsmanship of the Mushwani tribes.

Kashan is a city in the North of central West Asia and is famous for weaving some of the best quality carpets being produced. They are exceptionally hard wearing and highly decorative. These elegant rugs are constructed on a cotton foundation with a woollen pile, sometimes having accents of silk or woven entirely with silk.
Kashan rugs have been crafted since the 16th and 17th century, during the Safavid dynasty, with many scholars believing that some of the smaller silk designs date back to the early 16th century. Taking inspiration from the architects and artists of the period.
Many Kashan’s are distinctive with their traditional floral designs with deep reds and blues in the centre panel and border. They can also have only small accents of red and a main ground of mostly ivory and navy, making them similar to a Nain but woven in the city of Kashan. Depending on their size and colour they can work very well in both a bedroom as well as a hallway or living room for example.
