Afghan Carpet "Gül" Vintage – Wool – Exceptional Patina 205x132cm

Succumb to the authentic charm of this handcrafted Afghan rug from the 1960s, a piece that tells a story through its superb patina and remarkable softness. This rug stands out with its central field featuring four traditional "Gül" medallions, surrounded by complex geometric borders. Its colour palette is a true sensory journey: a dominant orange and ochre nuanced by touches of deep brown and cherry red, offering colour variations (abrash) typical of natural dyes and handwork. Entirely hand-knotted (approximately 140, 000 knots/m²), it has a velvet that has thinned with time, giving it the sought-after "aged" look in contemporary, bohemian, or industrial interiors. Technical characteristics. Origin: Afghanistan. Era: Circa 1960. Dimensions: 132 X 205 cm. Materials: 100% wool (velvet, weft, and warp in wool) Density: ~ 140, 000 knots per m² Condition: A beautiful vintage piece with pronounced wear that adds to its charm. The velvet is thinned, the fringes are worn with time, but the embroidered edges are in good condition. Very flexible rug, easy to place. Its fineness and flexibility allow it to be placed both in a living room under a raw wood coffee table and in a bedroom to bring a warm and ethnic touch. Its "wabi-sabi" look will pair perfectly with noble materials like leather or linen. Check out my other rugs for sale.
