About the Item
Vintage Hand-Knotted Afghan Bokhara Area Rug, hand knotted in the mid-1900s. Bokhara rugs are celebrated for their distinctive geometric patterns and the unique luster of their wool, and this piece is a magnificent embodiment of that cherished tradition.
This beautiful Afghan area rug features a compelling all-over geometric design dominated by classic octagonal medallions, known as "Gul" (flower). These iconic motifs are gracefully set against a rich and inviting plum/deep burgundy color background, with the medallions themselves rendered in contrasting shades of dark burgundy and midnight blue, creating a sophisticated and visually dynamic composition.
The rug is framed by a narrow border, intricately designed with subtle patterns in warm burnt orange, creamy ivory, and earthy brown colors, providing a harmonious contrast that elegantly defines the field.
One of the most remarkable features of this rug is its very special wool, which possesses an incredible shimmering quality under light, almost akin to the luxurious feel of silk. This lustrous pile adds a profound depth and richness to the colors, enhancing the rug's overall elegance. This unique tactile and visual quality makes it a highly desirable piece.
With its appealing color combination and classic design, this Vintage Afghan Bokhara rug is exceptionally versatile, capable of seamlessly integrating into and enhancing any room design plan.

Vintage Baluch Tribal Rug in Allover Geometric Pattern in Navy Blue, Dark Red
Located in Barrington, IL
Discover the understated elegance and authentic spirit of nomadic artistry with this Early 20th Century Vintage Baluch Tribal Area Rug, handwoven circa the early 1900s. This captivating piece showcases a sophisticated allover geometric pattern set against a rich field of dark red, complemented by harmonious tones of dark navy blue and warm caramel.
Hailing from the Baluch tribes residing in the southeast corner of Persia and western Afghanistan, this rug exemplifies their renowned weaving traditions, often characterized by the masterful use of dark red, rust red, or various shades of brown as primary colors in their hand-woven rugs, saddlebags, and salt bags.
This particular Baluch area rug features an intricate allover design consisting of refined geometric forms in dark red, deep navy blue, and camel hair. The main field is subtly yet powerfully framed by four different, meticulously detailed borders, creating a layered complexity that makes this a remarkably subtle tribal rug. Adding to its unique beauty, the ends of the rug feature a delicate Kilim weave, a testament to the weaver's skill and attention to detail.

Vintage Persian Kurdish Tribal Area Rug/Wide Runner in Geometric Pattern in Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
Vintage Persian Kurdish tribal area rug or a wide runner, meticulously hand-knotted circa the early 1900s. Originating from the skilled Kurdish weavers of Persia, these rugs are renowned for their distinctive geometric designs, rich palettes, and the enduring quality of their village weaving traditions.
This versatile Kurdish rug features a captivating geometric pattern that unfolds gracefully across its field. The central design is defined by a striking series of seven small medallions arranged in a single column, creating a strong visual anchor. The main field itself presents a harmonious interplay of deep blue and warm rust colors, providing a rich and inviting backdrop for the intricate motifs.
This rug's wonderful design is further enhanced by the expert use of natural vegetable dyes. These organic pigments not only provide brilliant, saturated colors but also develop a beautiful patina and subtle tonal variations (abrash) over time, a hallmark of authentic village weavings that only adds to their beauty and character.
The entire composition is elegantly framed by multiple borders, each displaying their own beautiful colors and intricate geometric designs. These layered borders provide depth and sophistication, perfectly complementing the central field and completing this charming village carpet from the early 1900s.
