*Before entering our warehouse, cleaned at a laundry specialized in hand-knotted rugs, then not used since.

This is a hand-knotted Oriental rug, made from durable, natural materials. The way of knotting and the diversity of patterns make this rug unique and emphasize its authentic and artisanal character.
It concerns an excellent used rug with an extremely long lifespan.

Special Afghan, hand-knotted circa 1940 somewhere around Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. The knotting technique and color usage of this special rug is somewhat more Afghan while patterns and shapes resemble Turkmen rugs more. Impressive rug, particularly well preserved and full of stories. A wonderful piece of history, a rare rug that shows the development of knotting art by illustrating how these rugs were made more than 80 years ago. A story about roaming freely and gaining inspiration from other places - even if it came from another country. Fully open to own interpretation.
Additionally, this rug also expresses the beauty of craftsmanship: nothing is perfect. Some irregularities in shape and imperfections in patterns contribute to the authentic character and tell stories.

Note: with its long fringes this rug is 230 cm long!
