Afghan Rug 340x267 Cm

Afghanistan is one of the world's leading producers of handmade rugs. Afghan rugs are authentic, charming, and generally incredibly inexpensive. Their signature feature is the depiction of strangely elongated human and animal figures.

Most weavers in Afghanistan are Ersari Turkmen.

Tribal rugs are almost always made on a horizontal or ground loom. This is because nomads rarely stay in one place for more than two months. A Turkmen woman will typically take at least six months to complete a rug, so the loom may be set up and taken down four to six times before a rug or kelim is finished.

The color of Afghan rugs is primarily red (the madder root of modern plants varies from red to orange to brown).

Connoisseurs will recognize the design of one of the most sought-after Persian rugs by collectors: the Heriz rug, with its striking Serapi design!

Size : 340 x 267 cm / uneven fringes approximately 6 cm on each side.
Condition : Good condition, slight wear in the kilim, four small wool spots visible in the beige at the center of the rug near the medallion, fringes slightly uneven.

The colors appear different depending on the angle of the rug.
