This blue Afghan Oriental rug showcases the distinctive Onyx treatment, where select areas of the wool pile have been carefully oxidized to create varied surface textures and depths. The geometric patterns emerge in rich jewel tones across the field, with the oxidation process revealing subtle gradations from deep sapphire to lighter azure hues. The interplay of raised and recessed areas creates visual interest that shifts with changing light throughout the day.

Crafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this rug features high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. The complex oxidation process used to achieve the Onyx effect requires considerable expertise, as artisans must precisely control the chemical treatment to create the desired texture variations without compromising the wool's integrity. This meticulous approach results in a rug built to withstand decades of daily use while maintaining its distinctive character.

At 8' 7" x 11' 6", this rug suits spacious living rooms, formal dining areas, or master bedrooms with room-scale furniture arrangements.
