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.
