1'10 x 8'3 Handmade Afghan Mashwani Carpet Runner

Item Details

This mid-century Afghan Mashwani runner is a sophisticated example of Central Asian nomadic textile art. Centered on a rhythmic vertical arrangement of six geometric lozenges, the design utilizes a high-contrast palette of madder red and deep navy. The textile is expertly crafted using a hybrid technique that incorporates both traditional hand-knotting for the medallions and flat-weave (kilim) sections for the end panels. Woven with high-quality, long-staple hand-spun wool, this runner exhibits the durable ‘handle’ and soulful character of authentic tribal craftsmanship. Its bold geometric lattice and rich ‘dark-academia’ colorway make it a versatile and evocative anchor for transitional hallways or gallery spaces.
