2'2 x 8'11 Handmade Afghan Mashwani Carpet Runner
Item Details
This handmade Afghan Mashwani runner is a compelling example of the dual-weave craftsmanship native to the nomadic tribes of western Afghanistan. The rug utilizes a unique hybrid construction, blending flat-woven soumak sections with raised, hand-knotted pile to create a distinct textural depth. The elongated field is dominated by three centrally aligned diamond medallions, each intricately detailed with geometric latch-hooks in deep indigo and charcoal against a vibrant madder-red ground. The surrounding guard borders and field are populated with repeating tribal symbols and cruciform patterns, framed at each end by wide horizontally-striped kilim panels. Woven entirely from hand-spun wool, this runner combines high durability with a sophisticated tribal aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic hallways or as a tactile accent in organic modern interiors.
