Afghan Vintage Wash Kilim

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.

Why This Vintage Kilim Stands Out

Artfully Faded Beauty

  • Over-washed treatment creates soft, muted earth tones

  • Time-softened geometric patterns with blurred edges

  • Natural dye variations that whisper rather than shout

Authentic Ageing Process

  • Traditional washing methods replicate years of gentle use

  • Wool fibres lovingly broken in for immediate comfort

  • Subtle colour variations that tell a story of imagined journeys

Heritage Woven Light

  • Based on century-old Chobi weaving techniques

  • Double-sided durability with a casually elegant look

  • Nomadic-inspired patterns now gently faded

Designer-Approved Features

  • Ultra-soft hand from extensive washing

  • Lighter weight than standard kilims

  • Pre-faded colours that won’t change dramatically

  • Intentional “flaws” that add character

Perfect For Creating:

  • French country charm with global soul

  • Scandinavian simplicity with artisan warmth

  • Urban loft authenticity

  • Coastal casual elegance

Our Vintage Wash Collection Offers:

  • Previously bold patterns now delicately faded

  • Softened traditional colour palettes

  • The look of a cherished heirloom, ready today

Why Choose Vintage Wash?

  • No waiting for natural fading – the character is built in

  • Instantly cosy without being precious

  • Works effortlessly with modern furniture
