This purple Afghan Oriental rug showcases the distinctive Onyx treatment, where selective areas of the wool pile have been carved away through a specialized oxidation process. The geometric patterns emerge in rich jewel tones against the deep purple field, creating striking textural contrasts that shift subtly in different lighting. The oxidation technique produces a sophisticated color palette that moves from deep amethyst to lighter lavender hues across the surface.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug is constructed from high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural luster. The hand-knotted construction ensures each piece develops its own character over time, while the natural wool fibers provide resilience that withstands decades of use. The intricate oxidation process requires exceptional expertise, making genuine Onyx rugs prized for their unique artistry.

At nearly 10 by 13 feet, this substantial rug anchors large living rooms, spacious dining areas, or master bedrooms with ease. The generous proportions work beautifully under sectional seating or large dining tables, while the geometric design complements both contemporary and traditional interiors.
