Afghan Mashwani Handwoven Wool Runner Rug - 362 x 72 cm
Afghan Mashwani Handwoven Wool Runner Rug - 362 x 72 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Colour moves through this runner like a woven current. Rust, saffron and red build the warmth; turquoise, cobalt and green cut through it in sharp, luminous intervals. Repeating diamond medallions pull the eye along the length, their stepped outlines answered by zigzags and narrow patterned bands.
The effect is exuberant but never unruly. Handwoven in Afghanistan from wool, this Mashwani runner turns traditional geometric language into something remarkably vivid—a procession of colour in which every border changes the pace of the design.

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.
