AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

We present an exclusive Afghan Samarkand design rug, 100% handmade in Gazni-quality wool. A very fine, soft and elegant piece, with a tribal geometric design inspired by Central Asia and soft, refined colors.

Manufactured approximately between 1940 and 1950, this rug stands out for its excellent artisanal quality, its glossy and silky wool, and a very pleasant texture to the touch, comparable to the best ancient Ziegler carpets.

Its Samarkand design combines traditional symbolic motifs with a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic, turning it into a very decorative and exclusive piece for classic or modern interiors.
