This antique Afghan rug, circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal carpet distinguished by its orderly field of octagonal gul motifs and richly layered geometric borders. Its subdued taupe and brown palette gives the piece a beautifully aged presence, while the hand-knotted patterning and spacious all-over composition lend it strong decorative versatility. An ideal foundation for a living room, dining room, or office.
Faded neutral tones of taupe, brown, charcoal, camel, and ivory, with a taupe 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.
