Price History
Description
Afghan Kelim rugs are hand knotted by Turkmens in northern Afghanistan. The designs on kelim rugs are created by carefully weaving bright tones, shades and colours in a flatweave style. Durable and hard wearing.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Afghan Kelim rug for its vibrant colours and geometric pattern, which add a rich textural element to any space. Its large size makes it a versatile choice, perfect for grounding a living room or dining area. This rug works well in both contemporary and bohemian interiors, where it can be paired with neutral furniture to create a focal point or layered with other textiles for a cosy, eclectic vibe. Practical styling tips include placing it beneath a coffee table or dining table to define the area, and pairing it with plain, solid-coloured furnishings to let the pattern stand out. Its durability makes it a great option for high-traffic areas, and its handmade appeal adds authenticity and warmth to the room.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
