This dark red Khal Mohammadi rug commands attention with its rich crimson field adorned with traditional geometric motifs in deep navy and ivory accents. The repeating octagonal medallions create a rhythmic pattern across the wool surface, while intricate border work frames the composition with complementary geometric designs. The saturated red backdrop provides warmth and depth, making each motif appear to float with dimensional clarity.

Hand-knotted by skilled Afghan artisans following centuries-old Khal Mohammadi traditions, this rug showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of northern Afghanistan's weaving communities. The foundation uses high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and natural lanolin content, while traditional vegetable dyes create the rich color palette that will deepen beautifully with age. Each knot represents hours of meticulous work, resulting in a dense, resilient weave that will withstand decades of use.

At 5' 1" x 6' 4", this piece works well in dining rooms, studies, or as a statement rug in medium-sized living areas. The compact rectangular format suits furniture groupings where seating can rest partially on the rug's borders. This authentic piece joins our curated Khal Mohammadi rug collection and fits perfectly within our 5 x 8 rug selection.
