Afghanistan, a miniature hand-knotted rug from the mid-20th century, measuring 35 cm by 25 cm.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming small collectible or decorative rug, fully hand-knotted. This miniature model stands out for its authentic artisanal craftsmanship and its carefully crafted traditional design, ideal for enhancing a piece of furniture, for use as a table rug, or for display as a textile wall piece.
This item comes from my dad's collection; since I did not buy it myself, I cannot certify the exact country where it was made.
Antique rug in good overall used condition. The colors have remained vivid and well contrasted. Natural patina gives it all its authentic charm (please refer to the detailed photos to assess the exact state of the borders and the pile).
- A deep midnight blue background highlighting two large Boteh motifs (often called Kashmir or Paisley motifs), richly colored in red, green and turquoise blue.
- A triple border frames the whole, alternating white and black sawtooth geometric motifs with outer edging in brick and moss green tones.
- Original fringes present at both ends, testimony to its artisanal construction.
