The piece
Afghan Akhche
Hand-knotted from 100% wool, this rectangular Afghan Akhche area rug showcases classic tribal artistry. A deep crimson red field serves as the foundation for repeated geometric gul medallions arranged in orderly vertical rows. Midnight navy and charcoal black accents define the intricate interior motifs, while a richly detailed multi-band geometric border frames the entire composition. Finished with subtle fringe along the edges, the rug features a thin, low-profile wool pile that provides a smooth, dense feel underfoot.
