AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present an ancient Afghan rug, completely handmade in pure wool, an authentic decorative piece with great personality.
Handwoven in Afghanistan between 1930 and 1940, this rug stands out for its soft texture, fine wool and pleasant touch, as well as for its traditional geometric motifs inspired by tribal designs.
Unlike traditional Afghan carpets of great thickness, this piece features a finer, lighter structure, similar to a Kazakh style, which gives it elegance and a more flexible drape without losing strength.
The passage of time has endowed it with 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 antique 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.
