Afghan Turkmen weave, 17th-Century Kerman inspired 295x257 cm | Rug# 25492

A striking Afghan Turkmen rug inspired by a celebrated 17th-century Persian Kerman design. The rich terracotta-red field is filled with sweeping palmettes, scrolling vines and stylised floral motifs, framed by a contrasting deep navy floral border. Soft blues, gold, ivory and green accents give the composition depth while preserving the character of the historic design. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan using traditional Turkmen weaving techniques and natural vegetable dyes, the rug has beautifully varied, warm tones and an appealing handmade character. The classical Persian pattern combined with the robust Afghan weave creates a decorative and highly practical piece suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
