5'4 x 9'11 Hand-Knotted Afghan Tribal Area Rug

Item Details

This authentic hand-knotted Afghan tribal rug features a classic all-over boteh or paisley design, a motif symbolizing fertility and eternal life. Rendered in a sophisticated palette of camel tan, navy blue, and ivory, the central field is populated by rhythmic rows of stylized paisleys. The rug is framed by an intricate geometric border composed of alternating triangular and foliate elements, characteristic of Baluch or Ersari weaving traditions from Western Afghanistan. Crafted from 100% hand-spun wool and colored with natural dyes, this rug exhibits the soft luster and slight color variations (abrash) highly prized by collectors. Its durable construction and timeless nomadic aesthetic make it a versatile focal point for both traditional and modern global-inspired interiors.
