Afghan handmade rug,Chobi. Size:263x182 cm

Woven by hand in Afghanistan, this Chobi rug is the sort of piece that gets better with a bit of foot traffic. The pattern is woven with the muted, vegetable-dyed palette the Chobi style is known for — soft rust, camel and ivory tones that mellow with age instead of fading out. The wool is undyed or naturally dyed where possible, so the colours are warm rather than flat, and the pile is dense enough to handle a busy household.

At 263 x 182 cm (8.6 x 6.0 ft), it's a good middle-of-the-room size — large enough to matter, not so large it fights the furniture. Because it's handmade, the piece you receive is the exact one photographed — not a reprint of a stock image. This one's on sale right now — SR 5,600 down to SR 5,265.
