Vintage Turkish Tribal Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Afghan BB7672 9'10" × 12'8" $15,000

This vintage Afghan tribal kilim reflects the bold weaving traditions of Central Asia in a flat-woven wool format, prized for its graphic clarity and durable, textural presence.

The composition is built from a tightly ordered compartmented repeat, with stacked vertical units that read almost like stylized stems or trees. Within each panel, angular diamonds, arrowed lines, and small blossom-like forms alternate across a deep crimson and black ground, punctuated by ivory, saffron, and forest green. The flat weave keeps the pattern crisp and lets the motifs sit cleanly against the field, creating a surface that feels rhythmic and architectural.

A serrated border and stepped geometric framing reinforce the rug’s tribal character, while the saturated palette gives it enough warmth to anchor a room without overpowering it. As a vintage kilim, it brings a casual, bohemian edge to interiors that benefit from pattern, color, and handwoven character, whether placed in a contemporary setting or among collected textiles.

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.
