This vintage Afghan rug features bold red floral medallions with angular petals and star-shaped centers arranged across a charcoal grey field. Burgundy diamonds, hooked botanical forms, and small geometric accents fill the spaces between, with muted olive, burnt orange, warm gold, and cream details enriching the design. A broad red border of repeating floral rosettes and leafy vines sits between narrower patterned bands, framing the composition. Its hand-knotted wool pile, softened colors, and visible vintage texture bring warmth and individual character to a living room or bedroom.

About Afghan Rugs
Afghan rugs are handmade wool rugs rooted in the weaving traditions of Turkmen, Uzbek, and Baluch communities across Afghanistan. Known for deep reds, warm earth tones, and bold geometric motifs, each piece reflects patterns passed down through generations of village and tribal weavers. Durable hand-spun wool and a practical low pile make these vintage rugs ideal for everyday living, bringing warmth, history, and one-of-a-kind character to living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways.
- 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.
