This striking Mahal rug displays a commanding firebrick red field anchored by bold geometric motifs in deep navy and warm ivory accents. The central medallion draws the eye with its intricate star pattern, while corner spandrels echo the design in perfect symmetry. The rich red ground creates a sense of warmth and tradition, while the geometric borders frame the composition with classical Persian restraint.

Handwoven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using premium Ghazni wool, this piece represents generations of weaving expertise passed down through family workshops. The dense hand-knotting creates a substantial feel underfoot, while natural dyes ensure the colors will age gracefully over decades. Afghan Mahal rugs are prized for their robust construction and ability to anchor a room with both visual weight and cultural authenticity.

At 8' x 10' 4", this rug suits spacious living rooms, formal dining areas, or master bedrooms where furniture can be arranged either entirely on the rug or with front legs placed along the edges. The geometric patterns complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, fitting naturally among oriental rugs collections where classical design matters. This substantial 8 x 10 size works particularly well in open floor plans. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
