An indigo field carries this hand-knotted rug in the Caucasian afshan manner — an all-over "scattered" design in which a vertical chain of serrated stepped medallions and eight-pointed stars floats amid a dense, restless scatter of stylised blossoms, serrated leaves, slender tree-and-shrub motifs and a whole menagerie of small birds and four-legged animals. Worked in madder red, ivory, saffron and soft teal against the deep blue ground, the field is filled corner to corner; the abundance is the design.

It is hand-knotted in Afghanistan by master weavers working in the older Caucasian Shirvan tradition, with a fine, even knot count, a low clipped pile and flat-woven kilim ends. The indigo and madder have depth and a gentle, light-catching variation that machine-made rugs can never reproduce. A broad madder-red border of bold palmettes and rosettes, framed by guard stripes of linked diamonds, draws the whole piece together.

Densely woven and built to last, this is a collector-grade piece — at home as the centrepiece of a formal living or dining room. As a hand-made rug, it is genuinely one of a kind. The pile is low, hand-clipped, with kilim ends.

Material: 100 percent hand-spun Afghan wool coloured with natural dyes, naturally rich in lanolin, which gives it softness, a subtle sheen, and a natural resistance to everyday dirt and spills.

Care instructions

Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.

This rug is woven in the afshan idiom of the eastern Caucasus — afshan meaning 'scattered', for the way the ornament spreads edge to edge across the field rather than resolving into a single medallion. A vertical spine of serrated stepped medallions and eight-pointed stars sets the rhythm, and around it the weaver has filled every space with stylised blossoms, serrated leaves, cypress and shrub motifs and a lively scatter of small birds and animals — a quiet record of the tribal world the design comes from. The deep indigo ground is the classic Shirvan blue, set against madder red, ivory and saffron drawn from natural dyes. Knotted by hand in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool, each motif is drawn slightly differently and the blue shifts subtly across the field — the fingerprint of a single weaver at the loom rather than a machine.
