This antique Afghan rug, circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving distinguished by a softly faded ivory and taupe palette. Its orderly grid of geometric octagonal guls, framed by finely detailed reciprocal and floral borders, gives the hand-knotted design a refined, quietly graphic presence. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or dining area.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, sand, camel, beige, and brown, with a ivory field.
Although Afghanistan shares its western border with Iran, its rugs share no similarities. It is intersected by Baluch, Uzbec and Turkmen weavers and so have a Central Asian influence. The weavers are tribal and nomadic and often use the “Gul” or elephants foot design. They come in deep madders and rusts with black outlining. They sometimes use greens, yellows and blue in the accent colors.
