Afghan Shirvan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 221 x 159 cm
Afghan Shirvan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 221 x 159 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
A vivid red field gives this Afghan Shirvan rug an immediate sense of energy, while rows of small floral-geometric motifs create a steady, intricate rhythm across the surface. Each motif sits within a diamond lattice, allowing touches of teal blue, ivory and muted gold to emerge gradually as the eye moves through the design. The layered border adds a finely framed finish, and the hand-knotted wool pile brings natural texture and depth to the pattern. Woven in Afghanistan and inspired by the geometric language of Shirvan carpets from the Caucasus, this distinctive rug balances bold colour with carefully ordered detail.

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 handmade 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.
- Each hand-knotted rug is coloured using 100% vegetable dyes, giving the fibres natural depth, gentle tonal movement and the individual character of handmade weaving.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
