This Afghan Gabbeh displays a vibrant geometric composition across its wool field, with bold blocks of red, deep blue, warm gold, and cream creating an almost painterly effect. The irregular placement of these saturated colors gives the piece an organic, spontaneous quality that draws the eye across its surface. Traditional diamond and rectangular motifs appear throughout, rendered in the characteristic loose, expressive style that makes each Gabbeh unique.

Woven by nomadic artisans in Afghanistan, this rug represents centuries of tribal weaving tradition passed down through generations. The thick, lustrous Ghazni wool provides exceptional durability and a substantial feel underfoot, while natural dyes create the rich, complex tones that will only improve with age. Hand-knotted construction ensures this piece will serve families for decades, developing the subtle patina that makes antique Gabbehs so prized.

At 5' 1 x 6' 9, this rug works beautifully in medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms where its bold colors can anchor a seating arrangement or define a space. The geometric patterns and earthy palette complement both contemporary and traditional interiors, particularly those with natural wood or neutral furnishings.
