This 3x13 ft crimson Afghan Mishwani rug combines a flatwoven kilim ground with hand-knotted wool pile raised directly onto the diamond medallions and geometric motifs, creating three-dimensional relief. Five elongated stepped diamond medallions repeat across the field in rust, charcoal, warm brown, golden tan, and cream against a crimson flatwoven ground. A layered geometric tribal border frames the piece. This mixed construction—tightly woven kilim sections alternating with plush raised pile—is one of the most technically demanding styles in Afghan weaving, giving the rug a texture you can feel as much as see.
About Mishwani Rugs:
Mishwani rugs are traditional Afghan wool rugs known for combining a flatwoven kilim base with raised hand-knotted pile, creating a distinctive textured finish. Rich colours, repeating diamonds, and geometric tribal motifs bring warmth and character to your home, while their handmade construction gives each piece individual charm. These versatile rugs add texture and visual interest to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
- Vacuum regularly on a low or no-beater-bar setting, taking care around the fringe.
- Rotate the rug every 6-12 months for even wear.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve color.
- We recommend a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and extend the rug's life.
- For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe professional rug cleaner every 1-2 years.
