This Afghan Oriental rug showcases the distinctive Onyx treatment, where select areas of the wool pile are removed through an intricate oxidation process. The field displays geometric patterns in deep blue tones accented by charcoal, creating a sophisticated interplay of raised and recessed textures. The oxidation technique produces subtle variations in depth across the surface, giving the rug a sculptural quality that shifts with light throughout the day. The jewel-toned palette brings richness without overwhelming a space.

Crafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this rug represents generations of textile expertise passed down through weaving families. The foundation is built with durable Ghazni wool, prized for its resilience and natural lanolin content that helps resist stains and wear. The specialized Onyx process requires exceptional skill, as weavers must precisely control the oxidation to achieve the desired textural contrast while maintaining the rug's structural integrity.

At nearly 8 by 10 feet, this piece anchors large living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms with ease. The geometric design complements both contemporary and traditional furnishings, while the textural variation adds visual interest beneath dining tables or seating arrangements. This rug works beautifully in oriental rug collections and suits 8 x 10 room layouts perfectly. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
