AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present an antique Afghan rug, completely handmade in pure wool, an authentic decorative piece with great personality.
Woven artisanship in Afghanistan between 1930 and 1940, this rug stands out for its soft texture, fine wool, and pleasant feel, as well as its traditional geometric tribal-inspired motifs.
Unlike traditional Afghan carpets with substantial pile, this piece features a finer, lighter structure, similar to a Kazakh, 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, the sun, or natural wool oxidation—something common in antique pieces that adds authenticity and character.
The overall structure remains in good condition, maintaining sturdiness and stability. It shows natural wear consistent with its age. Professional cleaning is recommended to refresh the color and further improve its presentation.
