ABOUT PRODUCTID 16311
This handwoven Afghan rug, measuring 335 x 255 cm, is crafted from natural wool and dates back to the early 20th century. The design is distinguished by a saturated, cool red field that transitions into deep burgundy near the edges, creating a strong frame for a symmetrical arrangement of octagonal Gul medallions in dark navy and black. Between the medallions are geometric diamond shapes and cross motifs, and the composition is bordered with multi-layered bands of repeated geometric and botanical patterns in shades of navy, black, and red. The pile is medium-height, densely knotted, with a matte finish highlighted by subtle sheens where the wool is gently worn. Cream-colored, irregular fringes at both ends mark the rug’s handcrafted origin and traditional weaving method.The rug’s design evokes the quiet rhythm of the Asian steppe – its pattern structure instills a sense of balance, while the depth of color suggests tranquility. Central medallions act as waypoints, and subtle tonal shifts and local wear bring out the individuality of each segment, underscoring the artisan’s skill. The tactile texture affirms the authenticity of the handspun wool, showing nuanced character under changing light.A rug of this scale will perform best in a spacious living area where its intricate design can be fully appreciated. It may be paired with light-toned linen or cotton textiles to balance the intensity of the palette, or set alongside simple wooden furnishings in natural or dark finishes. Muted lighting will emphasize the pile’s matte texture, while black-and-white art or neutral-hued ceramics can create a refined dialogue between Afghan tradition and contemporary interior design.
