The Design Story
Vintage Washed Afghan Kilims – Timeworn Charm with Soft, Subtle Hues
Embrace the art of imperfection with our authentically over-washed Afghan kilim, where generations of craftsmanship meet carefully muted tones. This naturally faded flat weave showcases the beautiful patina of time, offering a relaxed, organic aesthetic perfect for today’s lived-in luxury interiors.
