Southwestern Khurgeen Rickey Blue/Red Wool Round - 5'6'' x 5'7''

A central floral medallion in cream and blue sits on a deep red field, ringed by scrolling vines and blossoms. Warm, graphic, and quietly bold, it is a blue round Khurjeen rug with a palette that works across seasons.

Natural vegetable dyes and hand-spun Ghazni wool give this Khurjeen rug its saturated color and crisp geometric patterning. Each knot is the Turkish (Ghiordes) double knot, which gives the central floral medallion on a deep red field a firm, even surface and a short, antique-style pile. Resilient Ghazni wool gives the rug a soft feel underfoot while keeping the strength needed for high-traffic areas such as the living room, dining room, bedroom, or home office.

The Khurjeen style grew out of the tribal weaving of the Afghan and Pakistani borderlands, where families knotted rugs by hand from the wool of their own sheep and dyed it with plants, roots, and bark. Plant, root, and bark dyes give the palette its warmth, and the hand-spun wool lets the color vary naturally from knot to knot.

In tribal weaving, a strong central medallion anchors the design while smaller motifs around it keep the eye moving. Stepped diamonds and rosettes are often read as protective symbols, woven to watch over the household.

A graceful balance of pattern and restraint, this Khurjeen round rug is a hand knotted tribal area rug made to center the spaces where you gather. Place it in a foyer, under a bistro table, or at the center of a small sitting area. Its geometric design and warm natural tones lend depth to traditional, modern, and cabin-style decor.
