Afshar Sumakh Kilim Rug Cream Floral Design Handmade Wool 212x120cm

This vintage Afshar Sumakh Kilim rug is a beautifully handwoven piece of traditional textile art, created using one of the most intricate flatweave techniques. The rug features a soft cream field decorated with repeated floral bouquet motifs, each woven in rich tones of red, blue, green, brown, ivory, khaki, and multicolour accents. These repeated bouquets form an elegant rhythmic pattern throughout the centre of the rug, framed by layered tribal borders that add depth, movement, and authentic Oriental character. Measuring 212 × 120 cm (6'11" × 3'11"), this handmade wool flatweave is perfect for smaller areas where colour and craftsmanship can truly stand out. Whether placed in a bedroom, living room, hallway, office, or reading corner, the rug brings a sense of warmth and cultural charm. The floral motifs soften the geometric layout, making the rug suitable for both modern and traditional interiors. Its artistic construction reflects classic Afshar tribal weaving traditions, where symbolic motifs, repeat patterns, and harmonious colour palettes were used to convey harmony, nature, and abundance. Woven using the Sumakh (Soumak) technique, this rug has a textured, tapestry-like surface that enhances its visual richness. The fine wool gives it softness while the cotton foundation provides strength, ensuring a durable and long-lasting construction. The cream background contrasts beautifully with the vibrant motifs, making the colours appear brighter and more defined. This makes the rug particularly versatile for styling in contemporary homes, rustic settings, bohemian spaces, and interiors inspired by global folk art. The rug is ideal for collectors and design enthusiasts looking for an authentic handmade Kilim that combines geometric tribal elements with decorative floral artistry. It also works wonderfully as a wall-hanging textile for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and want to showcase textile art in a more elevated way.
