This Afghan Shirazi rug displays a classic medallion pattern against a rich red field, with the central motif surrounded by intricate geometric borders in complementary blues and ivory accents. The traditional design features detailed corner elements that mirror the central medallion, creating a balanced composition that draws the eye inward. The warm red base provides a foundation for the cooler blue tones, while ivory highlights add brightness throughout the pattern.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug is constructed entirely from premium Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The high knot density of 25-35 knots per square inch ensures crisp pattern definition and long-lasting wear. Natural dyes create the rich color palette that will develop character over time while maintaining its vibrancy.

At 5' 9" x 7' 9", this rug works well in medium-sized living rooms positioned under a coffee table and sofa arrangement, or as a foundation piece in dining rooms under tables that seat six to eight people. The traditional Shirazi design complements both classic and contemporary furnishings. This piece joins our curated collection of Afghan rugs and fits perfectly in the popular 5 x 8 size category.
