{"product_id":"afghan-maimana-kilim-rug","title":"Afghan Maimana Kilim Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a brand new authentic \u003cem\u003eMaimana \u003c\/em\u003eKilim rug, handmade in Afghanistan. Unlike knotted pile rugs, kilims are woven using a weft-faced technique that creates a flat, reversible surface which is highly durable and lightweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKilim rugs are one of the most common rugs woven in Afghanistan, often consisting of geometric medallions (lozenges, diamonds, hexagons) and bold colours derived from madder root (reds), indigo (blues), pomegranate rind (yellows), walnut husk or oak galls (browns and blacks).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are ubiquitous to Central Asia and Northern Africa, which suit use in harsh, dry climates as they would historically be used by nomadic people. They are low maintenance due to their robust and simple weaving design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rugs are woven all across Afghanistan, particularly in the northern provinces of Afghanistan (\u003cem\u003eFaryab\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eJowzjan\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBalkh\u003c\/em\u003e). There are also different variations of kilims depending on their origin - \u003cem\u003eTurkmen \u003c\/em\u003ekilims have diamond lattice patterns of red and black, \u003cem\u003eMaimana \u003c\/em\u003ekilims have bold geomteric patterns and dark earthy colours, \u003cem\u003eChubi \u003c\/em\u003ekilims have high-contrast colour combinations, and and \u003cem\u003eJajim \u003c\/em\u003ekilims are characterized by simple striped patterns with intricate small geometric patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56758943613310,"sku":null,"price":201.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9350\/1054\/files\/IMG_7412-squared.jpg?v=1767038862","url":"https:\/\/www.khorasanrugs.co.uk\/products\/afghan-maimana-kilim-rug","provider":"Khorasan Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
