Contemporary Art Deco kilim rug - 172 x 126 cm

No motif, no symbol. Only light sliding across water. In this contemporary Afghan kilim of Art Deco style, the orange retreats gradually towards the edges to let a pearl grey wake open at the centre, like the reflection of a setting sun on a lake.

Up close, everything plays out in hundreds of fine, undulating threads, laid one by one like the trembling of a lake that the wind barely grazes, and in that grey that fades here and there, that abrash which gives the wool its breath. A kilim that needs no design to tell everything.

One of a kind.
