AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful hand-knotted Oriental rug from Afghanistan is being offered. This piece is characterized by a particularly detailed "Garden Motif" (also known as Khesti), wherein the field is subdivided into panels, each bearing its own stylized Tree of Life or floral motif.
What sets this rug apart is the use of premium materials. It is a wool-on-silk piece: the pile is made of glossy, soft wool knotted onto a foundation (warp) of silk. This results in a finer texture and a smoother drape, while the rug retains its robust character. The deep, warm red tones form a beautiful contrast with the dark and ivory-colored accents.
Dimensions: approx. 123 x 186 cm (without fringes)
Origin: Afghanistan
Material: Wool on Silk (wool pile, silk warp threads)
Pattern: Garden / Khesti (cell pattern)
Condition: Generally good condition (see photos); some dots show wear that is only visible up close.
This rug is a timeless addition to both a classic and a modern interior, and immediately brings warmth and atmosphere to the room.
Note: Please review the photos carefully for your own judgment of the quality and condition. The rug will be shipped with track & trace.
