This Onyx collection rug showcases the distinctive beauty of selective pile removal through an intricate oxidation process. The geometric patterns emerge with remarkable depth against the rich blue field, accented by subtle grey tones that create sophisticated contrast. The oxidation technique produces varying pile heights across the surface, giving the rug a sculptural quality that shifts with light and viewing angle. Each motif appears to float above the foundation, creating visual intrigue that rewards close inspection.

Crafted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan and Pakistan, this hand-knotted piece represents generations of weaving expertise passed down through traditional workshops. The dense wool construction uses time-honored techniques that ensure both structural integrity and lasting beauty. Natural dyes penetrate deep into each fiber, while the precise knotting density creates the crisp definition essential for the oxidation process to achieve its distinctive textural effects.

At 6' 4" x 8' 9", this rug anchors medium to large living rooms with ease, fitting comfortably under sectional seating or defining conversation areas.
