Afghan Kilims: Timeless Elegance and Artistry
Elevate your home decor with the timeless elegance and intricate artistry of Sun-Faded Afghan kilims. Handwoven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan, these exquisite flatweave rugs are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and unparalleled craftsmanship that define Afghan weaving traditions. Each Afghan kilim is not merely a decorative item, but a unique piece of art that tells a story of tradition, history, and dedication. These flatweaves are sun-faded to create beautiful and unique faded options, adding a layer of charm and character to each piece. This intentional fading process results in soft, muted tones that enhance the rug's antique appeal, making each kilim a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Afghan kilims are renowned for their intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and impeccable quality. These rugs are meticulously handwoven using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations of Afghan weavers.

The Sangat Flatweave Elyssa Red/Ivory Runner exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and rich heritage of these remarkable rugs.
Exquisite Design and Materials
Crafted from the finest quality wool, Afghan kilims are known for their durability and luxurious texture. The wool is hand-spun and dyed, resulting in vibrant, enduring colors.

Care Instructions
Vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the roots of the fibers. Brushless attachment is recommended. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors. Turn carpet occasionally to equalize wear. Clean spills immediately; if liquid, blot with clean, undyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use of a rug pad is recommended.
