2'9x4'7 ft Vintage Afghan Hand Knotted Wool Rug Golden Yellow Burgundy Prayer Mihrab Tribal Geometric Rug Living Room Bedroom

About this rug

This beautifully aged vintage Afghan rug is a wonderful example of traditional tribal prayer rug design, hand-knotted by skilled artisans using 100% natural wool. Measuring 2'9x4'7 ft (89x142 cm), this rug features a warm golden yellow field surrounding a deep burgundy red central mihrab prayer arch — a timeless and elegant composition deeply rooted in Afghan weaving tradition.
The central burgundy field is adorned with a vertical column of geometric diamond and cross medallions, crowned with an ivory prayer arch niche at the top, and accented throughout with soft pink, ivory, and charcoal tones. The wide golden yellow border is richly decorated with bold tribal snowflake stars, hooked diamond motifs, leaf sprigs, and cross rosettes — all rendered in navy, burgundy, and soft rose tones that complement the warm palette beautifully.
The outermost border features a delightful repeating rosette and cross pattern that frames the entire composition with charm. The natural vintage patina adds warmth and authenticity, making this rug a perfect accent piece for both traditional and eclectic modern interiors.
