Navajo-design Kilim rug featuring a large vertical charcoal and ivory stepped diamond centered on a terracotta-red field with broad horizontal cream and black stripes, SKU 66806, size 8′1″ × 10′1″.
This Kilim is a masterful tribute to 19th-century weaving traditions, combining the horizontal rhythm of a classic striped blanket with the iconic verticality of tribal geometric totems. The composition is anchored by a large, multi-tiered stepped diamond in charcoal and ivory, which appears to "vibrate" against the saturated terracotta-red field. Broad, structural bands of cream and black run horizontally across the top and bottom, providing a powerful frame that grounds the central imagery.
Hand-woven from 100% premium wool, this rug features a dense flat-weave construction that is exceptionally durable and fully reversible. Measuring 8′1″ × 10′1″, its expansive scale makes it a definitive choice for grounding a large living room or primary suite. The palette is a sophisticated blend of high-contrast neutrals—charcoal, slate grey, and ivory—warmed by a deep, earthy red that evokes the landscape of the High Desert.

Styling & Placement Tips
This 8x10 Kilim is an ideal choice for "Mountain Modern" or "Rustic Luxury" interiors. Its bold horizontal stripes help to visually widen a room, making it excellent for large great rooms with heavy stone fireplaces or log beams. The terracotta field pairs beautifully with warm leather upholstery and reclaimed wood furniture. For an elevated look, pair with minimalist black metal accents to draw out the charcoal linework of the central totem.
Care
Vacuum regularly using the floor setting; avoid using a beater bar. Since Kilims are reversible, we suggest rotating the rug every 6 months to ensure even wear from sunlight and foot traffic. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Professional cleaning is recommended as needed. A premium non-slip rug pad is essential for this piece to provide extra grip and protect your flooring.

A Legacy of the Chief's Pattern
This design draws heavily from the "Third Phase" Chief's Blanket tradition, which introduced large-scale geometric diamonds layered over bold horizontal stripes. By translating this historic aesthetic into a durable, hand-woven Kilim, this piece offers a bridge between ancestral storytelling and the modern architectural home.
