This Shiraz rug presents a classic medallion design set against a rich red field, creating an authentic Afghan carpet with traditional appeal. The central medallion features intricate geometric motifs surrounded by complementary border patterns that frame the composition beautifully. The deep red base color provides warmth and character, while the detailed knotwork showcases the skilled craftsmanship of Afghan weavers. The overall effect is both grounding and sophisticated.

Handwoven in Afghanistan using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug represents the authentic artistry of Shiraz weavers. The 100% wool construction utilizes high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. With a knot density of 25-35 knots per square inch, the tight weave ensures longevity while allowing the intricate patterns to emerge with clarity. This level of craftsmanship makes it both a functional floor covering and a lasting investment.

At 5' 1" x 6' 7", this rug works well in medium-sized living spaces, dining areas, or as a centerpiece under a coffee table arrangement. The proportions suit both traditional and contemporary interiors where authentic textile art is appreciated. This piece joins our carefully curated collection of Afghan rugs and fits perfectly within our 5 x 8 size range. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
