The piece
Afghan Akhche
Hand-knotted from 100% wool in Afghanistan, this Afghan Akhche collection rug showcases a striking tribal aesthetic with a structured geometric design. A rich crimson red field forms the base for intricate diamond medallions, stepped motifs, and detailed border bands rendered in contrasting black and ivory accents. Finished with short fringe along the ends, the piece has a low, thin pile that delivers a smooth feel underfoot while highlighting the precise artisan knotting.
