This Afghan Balisht cushion rug displays an intricate floral medallion against a rich burgundy field, framed by complementary borders in deep navy and golden ochre. The central motif features stylized palmettes and flowering vines that spiral outward in classic Persian tradition. The multicolored palette creates a warm, inviting presence that draws the eye inward to appreciate each delicate detail.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this piece showcases the fine craftsmanship of Afghanistan's carpet-making heritage. The 100% wool construction utilizes premium Ghazni wool, prized for its durability and natural luster. With a knot density of 30-40 KPSI, each motif is rendered with impressive clarity and definition that will endure for generations.

At just under 2 x 3 feet, this compact rug works beautifully as an accent piece beside reading chairs, at bedsides, or in entryways where its detailed pattern can be fully appreciated. The size makes it ideal for layering in contemporary interiors or anchoring small seating areas in traditional settings. This Balisht design joins our curated selection of compact rugs perfect for intimate spaces. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
