1990s Vintage Afghan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 3'10'' x 6'10''

This hand-knotted Baluch Rug was woven in Northern Afghanistan by Baluch tribal artisans. It combines centuries of weaving tradition with the bold, narrative iconography that emerged during Afghanistans conflict era. The rich navy background creates a captivating canvas for stylized tanks, geometric weapon motifs, and symbolic forms powerful visual signatures that embody authentic war rugs and immortalize a crucial moment in cultural history.
Its color palette is rich, earthy, featuring burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow, forest green, brick red, and warm beige. The colors, created with a mix of natural dyes, give the rug both vibrancy and the intricate patina characteristic of Afghan weaving. Hand-knotted with a wool pile on a wool foundation, the rug showcases crisp motifs, balanced symmetry, and the dense knotting typical of traditional Baluch craftsmanship.
More than just a decorative textile, this piece serves as a cultural artifact that preserves the artistry, resilience, and storytelling of Afghan tribal weavers. Its striking imagery and refined color harmony make it an exceptional choice for collectors, designers, and curated interiors, offering a statement piece that blends heritage, symbolism, and bold visual impact.

CLEANING & RESTORATION

Rug Care & Maintenance

  • Shedding of loose fibers is normal and will diminish over time with regular vacuuming.
  • Due to natural fibers and craftsmanship, minor imperfections may appear in the weave. These are not defects but common characteristics of handmade items.
  • Vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the rug, preferably using suction only or a single beater bar.
  • Do not pull loose ends; trim them carefully with scissors.
  • Keep the rug away from excessive moisture.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth.
  • Professional rug cleaning is recommended as needed.
  • Harsh chemicals may damage or fade the rug.
  • Use rug protectors under heavy furniture to prevent crushing.
