Navajo-design Kilim rug featuring three central terraced crosses and large stepped geometric bands in burnt orange, cream, and ochre, SKU 66812, size 6′2″ × 8′11″.
This Kilim is a masterclass in geometric rhythm, utilizing sharp angles and a high-contrast palette to create a sense of structural depth. The design is anchored by a central row of three terraced crosses—ancient symbols representing the harvest and life—flanked by massive, interlocking stepped peaks that span the width of the textile. The composition uses a sophisticated "negative space" approach, where the cream and burnt-orange segments appear to lock together like masonry.
Hand-woven from 100% premium wool, the rug features a substantial flat-weave texture that is both durable and soft underfoot. Measuring 6′2″ × 8′11″, its generous dimensions are perfectly suited for grounding a living room or adding a layer of tribal warmth to a contemporary bedroom. The palette is dominated by a rich burnt orange, balanced by crisp cream and subtle accents of golden ochre.

Styling & Placement Tips
The architectural scale of these patterns makes this rug a perfect choice for rooms with minimalist furniture. The warm tones are elevated when paired with mid-century modern walnut furniture, brass accents, or crisp white linens. In a great room or open-concept space, its large geometric bands help define the seating area without making the floor feel cluttered. For an authentic "modern lodge" look, layer it over a larger jute or sisal rug.
Care
Vacuum regularly using suction only; avoid beater bars which can snag the flat-weave. Since this rug is fully reversible, rotating it twice a year will ensure uniform wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth. Professional rug cleaning is recommended every 3-5 years. A quality rug pad is highly encouraged to prevent shifting and provide a softer feel.
