About the Item
A handsome antique Afghan rug featuring the traditional “Elephant Foot” (Gul) motif arranged in an all-over grid pattern. Woven in the early 20th century, Afghan rugs of this type are celebrated for their durable wool, bold graphic motifs, and deeply harmonious earth-tone palettes.
This piece showcases a rich gradient of mocha and taupe tones, with ivory highlights defining the geometric medallions and intricate secondary motifs. The main border is adorned with a repeating pattern of stylized floral emblems and symbolic motifs, while multiple guard borders frame the composition, adding balance and rhythm.
The naturally dyed wool pile offers both visual depth and a soft underfoot feel, making this rug as functional as it is beautiful. Its balanced color scheme makes it suitable for both rustic and modern interiors.
