4' x 6'1 Hand-Knotted Afghan Pictorial Area Rug

Item Details

This hand-knotted Afghan pictorial rug features an imaginative landscape composition rendered in a bold primary color palette. The central field is dominated by a deep cobalt blue ground, populated with stylized architectural silhouettes, bridges, and arboreal forms in contrasting red, cream, and green. Unlike traditional repetitive geometric patterns, this piece utilizes an asymmetrical, narrative layout. The textile is framed by a secondary cream-ground border with repeating geometric blossom motifs. Constructed with a wool pile on a wool foundation, this rug represents the creative pictorial tradition within Afghan tribal and village weaving.
