This Afghan Gombud displays a classic medallion pattern against a rich field that combines warm reds, deep blues, and ivory accents. The central medallion draws the eye with its geometric precision, while the surrounding field features traditional motifs that create visual depth. The color palette shifts from burgundy tones in the center to cooler blues at the borders, giving the piece both warmth and sophistication. Secondary patterns fill the corners and borders with smaller geometric elements that complement the main design.

Handwoven by skilled Afghan artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug showcases the quality Ghazni wool prized for its durability and natural luster. The hand-knotted construction ensures each knot is individually tied, creating a dense weave that will withstand decades of use while developing character over time. Afghan weavers are renowned for their precision in geometric patterns, and this Gombud exemplifies their mastery of color balance and traditional motifs.

At 4' 8 x 7' 3, this rug works well in medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms where it can anchor furniture groupings without overwhelming the space. The traditional pattern suits both classic and contemporary interiors, while the mixed color palette coordinates with various decorating schemes.
