Description from the seller

This hand-knotted runner originates from Afghanistan and impresses with its exceptionally dense knotting and high-quality cork wool, giving it a soft yet durable surface. Created around 1970, the rug is in unused condition – a true rarity for collectors and lovers of traditional knotting art. The design features a deep blue background with finely embedded medallions in muted red tones and gold shades, imparting a majestic elegance to the rug. The detailed border with a geometric pattern frames the overall appearance harmoniously. A piece of traditional Afghan craftsmanship that has stood the test of time and is ready to enrich stylish spaces.
