Qala Kilim Light Boteh
This handwoven Afghan kilim comes from Qala-i-Zal in Kunduz Province, a region renowned for bold tribal weaving and centuries-old design traditions. The central field features a striking arrangement of stylized boteh motifs, rendered in a geometric, rhythmic pattern that symbolizes fertility, eternity, and protection.
Woven with hand-spun Karakul wool and dyed using natural vegetable-based pigments, the flatweave construction gives the piece a light, flexible texture while retaining durability. Its earthy tones and detailed borders reflect a fusion of Turkoman and North Afghan tribal aesthetics.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Our carpets are made to be lived with, not just looked at. But like any heirloom, they thrive with care.
- Shake, don’t scrub. For regular upkeep, gently shake or vacuum your carpet to lift out dust and dirt. Avoid using a beater brush.
- Spot clean with love. If there's a spill, blot gently with a clean cloth. Use mild detergent and cold water, no harsh chemicals.
- Rotate occasionally. Turning your carpet every few months helps it wear evenly, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Let it breathe. Wool loves air. Every now and then, let your carpet soak in sunlight and fresh air, just not too long to avoid fading.
- Professional help for deep cleaning. Once in a while, a gentle hand wash or expert cleaning will restore its natural glow.
These carpets are built with resilience, just like the people who’ve woven them for generations. Treat them kindly, and they’ll walk with you for years to come.
