ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven by Afshar nomads inhabiting the mountains of Kerman, eastern Persia, in an improvised iteration of the famous Sine riz motif. Made of some of the finest nomadic-sourced wools and natural dyes, Afshar Kilims ( flatweaves) are world-famous for their unique designs and sense of colour. Soumak-style small stars are typically woven in the field and sides of Afshar Kilims and are a good sign for differentiating original pieces from copies. Generally, the more numerous and dense these stars are, the finer the Kilim.

A 2-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 54 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 57 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 48 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
