Pictorial carpets from Afghanistan draw on the same tribal weaving traditions as the more geometric Bokhara and Kargai pieces, but the weaver substitutes a pictorial narrative for the conventional repeat pattern. These are among the most personal objects in the carpet world, each one telling a story that is specific to the weaver and the moment of making.
This small piece at 3 ft 3 in x 4 ft 11 in has a multicolour palette and is woven in wool on a wool base at 256 knots per square inch. Wool on wool construction gives excellent durability. At this small format the piece works as an accent item, bedside rug or collector piece.
In your home: Works as a bedside rug, accent piece, wall hanging or collector item. Pairs with natural timber and both contemporary and traditional interiors.
