On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate elements of a Mashwani rug design—a celebrated provenance of traditional Afghan carpets especially known for their tight knotting. Its design is a subtle play of pile and flatweave (Kilim) texture together as well, as keen eyes will admire. The colorway favors rich burgundy red, with rust, teal and navy blue in the more present tones at play in its tribal motifs and other geometric patterns. It’s a rich, comfortable piece that preserves an equally rich history and its rustic, old-world charm. less
