Rug: 52ins x 71ins Pillow cases: 30ins x 12ins
Hello, this item is a handmade Afghan wool rug measuring approximately 52 by 71 inches, accompanied by two matching decorative pillow covers measuring about 30 by 12 inches each. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation and features a repeating diamond lattice field with tribal geometric motifs in indigo, rust, ochre, and ivory, framed by multiple narrow guard borders. This pattern language and palette are characteristic of late 20th to early 21st century Afghan village production, often woven by Hazara and northern Afghan workshops for export markets. The matching pillow covers appear to have been made from coordinating or repurposed rug material, a common practice among dealers to create decorative sets for Western interiors. These are not antique pieces but contemporary handmade textiles produced primarily for decorative use.
Condition appears excellent overall, with intact fringes, even pile height, strong saturated colors, and no visible structural damage in the provided images. The pillows also present cleanly with consistent patterning and no evident wear. Comparable modern Afghan rugs of this size, when paired with matching cushion covers, typically sell on today’s secondary market between USD 300 and USD 700 depending on weave quality and presentation.
