2'8x5 ft Vintage Afghan Pile Rug | Handknotted Tribal Floral Leaf Lattice | Vivid Red & Dark Black Wool | Accent Rug Bedside Entryway

About this rug

A wonderfully distinctive and charming vintage Afghan pile rug with a fresh, botanical quality that sets it apart from the typical geometric tribal repertoire. The vivid crimson red field is laid out in a diamond lattice framework in dark black, each diamond cell containing a stylized tulip or leaf form rendered in a beautiful rotating palette of dusty blue, forest green, olive, red, and gold — each one different from its neighbor, giving the all-over repeat a lively, garden-like variety and warmth.
The leaf and tulip forms are bold yet graceful — broad, rounded shapes with fine central vein detail, sitting within their lattice cells with a natural, unhurried elegance. The dark black lattice framework provides strong graphic structure while the vivid red ground glows warmly between and behind the forms, keeping the overall composition bright and alive. Small scattered gold and blue accent motifs fill the spaces between the lattice points, adding further fine detail without crowding the field.
The border is dense and richly detailed — a wide dark black outer frame carries a repeating pattern of small dot-rosette and star forms in red and ivory, running along all four sides in a tight, precise repeat. A narrow outer stripe carries a bold repeating diagonal slash motif in multicolor — red, blue, gold, and green — adding a final layer of colour contrast. Natural ivory fringe at both short ends.
Hand-knotted with a medium wool pile — warm, soft, and durable underfoot. At 2'8 x 5 ft it is a perfect bedside rug, entryway accent, or small living room piece for anyone seeking a tribal rug with genuine botanical charm.
