The piece
Afghan Akhche
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from 100% wool, this rectangular Afghan Akhche area rug showcases a classic tribal motif. A vibrant red field hosts repeating rows of traditional octagonal gul medallions, framed by intricate geometric borders in rich black, ivory, and subtle orange accents. The low, thin wool pile provides a smooth, authentic texture underfoot, complete with classic fringe along the edges.
