2' x 8'2 Handwoven Mixed-Technique Afghan Mashwani Carpet Runner

Item Details

This vintage Afghan Mashwani runner showcases the tribe’s signature ‘mixed technique,’ a sophisticated weaving method that combines hand-knotted wool pile with flat-tapestry kilim sections. The design features a vertical series of nested diamond medallions rendered in deep madder red and midnight blue, which stand out in high relief against the flatter foundation. The textile is composed entirely of hand-spun, high-luster wool, providing a rich tactile experience and a luminous surface. Finished with classic geometric brocaded ends, this runner is a functional piece of nomadic history, prized for its rugged construction and timeless tribal aesthetic.
