About the Item
This vintage late-20th-century Afghani Bashir rug is a showstopper, hand-knotted with rich wool in deep crimson, golden ochre, ivory, and dark brown. Its field features a large-scale repeat of stylized paisley motifs—some woven in gold, others in crimson—interspersed with small, charming chickens that add an element of whimsy and surprise. The border is especially compelling, densely packed with complex layers of geometric and floral motifs that appear to vibrate with movement. Woven by Turkmen weavers in northern Afghanistan, Bashir rugs are prized for their saturated natural dyes, tight knotting, and distinctive tribal iconography. This particular example merges bold, almost modern scale with time-honored motifs and meticulous craftsmanship. A rug that doesn’t shy away from personality, it’s both a serious textile and a playful conversation piece—ideal underfoot, layered, or even hung on a wall like a tapestry. A singular piece with soul, history, and more than a little attitude.
