Afghan antique handwoven wool rug dating to the 1930s–1940s, measuring approximately 1.97 × 2.95 m.
Description from the seller
We present an antique Afghan rug, completely handmade in pure wool, an authentic decorative piece with great personality.
Weaved artisanally in Afghanistan between 1930 and 1940, this rug stands out for its soft texture, fine wool and pleasant touch, as well as its traditional geometric motifs inspired by tribal designs.
Unlike traditional Afghan rugs with a thick pile, this piece features a finer, lighter structure, similar to a Kazakh style, which gives it elegance and a more flexible drape without losing durability.
Time has granted it a beautiful vintage patina. The original reddish tones show slight variations toward more orange hues in some areas, probably due to exposure to light, sun, or natural wool oxidation, something common in old pieces and that adds authenticity and character.
The overall structure remains in good condition, maintaining firmness and stability. It shows natural wear consistent with its age. Professional cleaning is recommended to refresh the color and further improve its presentation.
