Vintage Geometric Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Afghan BB8924 12'3" × 16'9" $9,500

This vintage Afghan kilim, circa 1940, is a handwoven wool flat-weave rooted in the graphic tribal traditions of Afghanistan. Its appeal lies in the disciplined geometry of the design, where repetition and contrast create a clear, confident presence.

The warm taupe field is organized by a tightly structured lattice of stepped diamonds and hooked forms, each outlined in black and filled with mustard yellow, ivory, and soft gray. The pattern reads with a strong architectural rhythm, balancing bold contrast with the quieter earthiness of the ground.

Wide side borders frame the composition with larger diamond medallions, while the narrow top and bottom bands introduce zigzag movement and reinforce the kilim’s sharp linear character. As a vintage geometric rug, it brings a layered, collected look to contemporary and eclectic interiors alike, offering pattern without floral softness.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
