The Kelim Afshar bears the name of a tribe whose weavers have passed on their art for generations, from the pastures of southern Persia around Kerman to the villages where the Afshar settled. Flat-woven and without pile, it is made by hand on the loom, with the characteristic ‘Kelim slit’ where two areas of colour meet. The Afshar design language condenses into clear, geometric patterns: lozenges, stars and the teardrop-shaped Boteh that travels across the regions. Because the wool is traditionally hand-spun and dyed with natural dyes, the colour plays in fine gradations: this Abrash is valued as a sign of genuine handwork. Originally, flatweaves like these were everyday companions (as blankets, covers or for packing belongings) and they still carry the story of nomadic life within them.

This Kelim measures 345 × 249 cm and works well in a living room, dining room or bedroom. It comes in brown and grey and features a striped pattern; the border is beige. It is flat-woven, with no pile; the material is 100% virgin wool. It is between 20 and 50 years old.

In the living room, a brown Kelim grounds the seating; leather and walnut build on the mood.

With the AR Visualizer, you can place this Kelim in your room to scale before you order and see how it looks.

Care

Hand-knotted rugs are robust and durable if you follow a few simple guidelines.

🧹 Vacuuming without a brush head, in the direction of the pile. Not across the fringes.

💧 Spills should be dabbed immediately with a damp cloth, never rubbed.

🚫 Do not use chemicals or harsh cleaners. Professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains.

☀️ Avoid direct sunlight to slow down the fading of natural colours.

📦 Storage should always be rolled, never folded. Store in a dry and ventilated place.

Questions & Answers

Which rugs does Rugtales offer?

Handmade rugs and kilims, plus accessories made from rug and kilim pieces. Every piece is one of a kind, made from natural materials such as wool, cotton or sometimes silk by knotters and weavers who combine a centuries-old tradition with their own signature.

Are all rugs handmade?

Almost all of our rugs are hand-knotted or hand-woven; the technique is listed in the product details of every piece.

How do I recognise if a rug is authentic?

Genuine hand-knotted rugs clearly show the front pattern on the back, are made from natural materials such as wool, cotton or silk, and have small irregularities. They are part of the handwork and give the piece its character.

Do you also have vintage and antique rugs?

Yes. Our vintage rugs are usually 20 to 60 years old and show the warm patina that only age can give. We also carry antique rugs for collectors.

How do I care for my rug?

Vacuum regularly (without a brush head), turn the rug now and then and protect it from direct sunlight. For a thorough clean we recommend a professional rug cleaner. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Can rugs be used in high-traffic areas?

Yes. Wool rugs are very hard-wearing and work well in living rooms, hallways and dining areas.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, to many European countries and to the UK. You can find all delivery countries, delivery times and shipping costs under Shipping & payment.

How do returns work?

You have 14 days after receipt to request a return, in your customer account or by email to hello@rugtales.com. The rug must be in its original condition. Within Germany and the EU we cover the return shipping costs (except Greece); for deliveries to Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the UK, Greece, Norway and Bosnia and Herzegovina you bear them yourself. Custom-made pieces cannot be returned.

How do I choose the right size and colour?

Consider the size of the room, the furniture and the light. Our guide has size and styling tips, and we are happy to advise you personally.

Can I see the rug before purchasing?

Depending on location, we offer private viewings by appointment. Write to us and we will find a time.
