Large oversized Kilim rug featuring a symmetrical Navajo design with a central stepped diamond, feathered arrows, and geometric totems in charcoal, terracotta, and cream on a heathered grey-brown field, SKU 66820, size 8′10″ × 12′1″.
This Kilim represents a sophisticated bridge between ancient tribal symbolism and modern architectural scale. The design centers on a bold, symmetrical arrangement of traditional Southwest elements, including a central stepped-diamond medallion, feathered "arrows of life," and intricate geometric totems that anchor the four corners. The flat-weave construction allows these sharp, graphic lines to maintain a crisp presence, while the serrated "dazzler" borders in vibrant terracotta provide a high-energy frame for the composition.
Hand-woven from 100% premium wool, this flat-weave piece is both durable and reversible, offering a practical yet artistic solution for high-traffic living areas. Measuring 8′10″ × 12′1″, its oversized dimensions are perfectly suited for grounding large seating groups or expansive Great Rooms. The palette is deeply rooted in the natural world, featuring a heathered taupe-grey field accented by deep charcoal, crisp cream, and warm, saturated terracotta.

Styling & Placement Tips
This oversized Kilim is the ultimate anchor for a "Mountain Modern" living room or a sophisticated Desert-inspired interior. Its low profile makes it excellent for layering—try placing it over a larger sisal or jute rug for added texture. The bold terracotta and charcoal accents coordinate beautifully with leather sofas, reclaimed wood coffee tables, and industrial blackened-steel accents. In a large bedroom, its symmetrical design perfectly centers a king-sized bed, providing a soft yet graphic foundation.
Care
Vacuum regularly using the floor setting (no beater bar). Because Kilims are flat-woven, they are often reversible; rotating the rug every 6 months will ensure even wear and sun exposure. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. We highly recommend a non-slip rug pad to provide cushioning and prevent movement on hard floors.

About this Design
This piece draws inspiration from the legendary "Chief's Blankets" and "Dazzler" periods of Navajo weaving. Known for their high-contrast horizontal and vertical symmetry, these designs were originally intended to be worn, but their powerful geometric language has since become a cornerstone of American interior design. This Kilim adapts those storied motifs into a durable, large-format floor covering suited for today's most ambitious architectural spaces.
