Old Afghan oriental rug 148 x 196 cm

Old Afghan rugs are hand-knotted wool rugs characterised by a deep, warm red base combined with dark blue pattern details and accents of ochre and ivory. The relatively high, sturdy pile often incorporates goat and horse hair, giving the rugs a robust feel. Traditional Gül motifs and Seneh knotting create a strong, rhythmic pattern structure, with a knot density ranging from 150,000 to 250,000 per square metre.
