Afghan Roshnai Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 282 x 84 cm
Afghan Roshnai Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 282 x 84 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
This runner is built almost like a frame within a frame. A deep red centre carries rows of compact octagonal motifs, then successive bands of navy, burgundy, muted purple, ivory and blue step outward in finely controlled layers. The repetition is intricate, but the darker borders give the composition unmistakable clarity.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this Afghan Roshnai runner draws its presence from precision rather than a single dominant medallion. Every narrow guard band contributes to the whole, creating a design that feels richly ornamented, disciplined and complete from edge to edge.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and hand-knotted structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
