About the Item
A grand and commanding antique Afghan rug, this hand-knotted piece features a repeating "gul" medallion design in bold navy, rust, and olive tones, arranged in a tightly structured grid across a camel-toned field. The guls — symbolic tribal motifs — are flanked by multiple angular borders with lattice and hooked details rendered in slate blue and ivory.
This rug’s scale and symmetry give it visual presence, while the naturally faded vegetable-dyed palette brings softness and approachability. Its size and composition make it ideal for grounding larger living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan interiors in need of authentic, storied texture.
