Antique Afghan Wool Rug - C. 1920-1930 - 10'5" X 15'6"
Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.
Hand knotted by nomadic weavers and village families for centuries, Afghan rugs embody generations of artistry and culture. Their symbolic designs encompass abstract geometric and floral motifs, medallions, layered borders and tribal symbols. Pure wool, sourced from sheep raised on highland pastures, lends softness and enduring strength to the dense pile.
