About this rug

This unique vintage Afghan rug was hand-knotted in the 1970s in Herat, Afghanistan, using the traditional Sumak design technique that beautifully blends flat weave and pile work. Made from 100% natural wool, it is a rare piece that reflects the artistry and cultural heritage of Afghan tribal weaving.

The rug’s striking geometric diamond motifs are arranged in layers across the field, framed by bold tribal borders. Its vibrant palette includes rich shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, brown, ivory, and navy accents, giving the piece both warmth and visual depth. The combination of flat weave and pile creates texture and dimension, making it as tactile as it is decorative.

Measuring 2.8 x 4 ft, this versatile size makes it perfect as an accent rug, wall hanging, or decorative piece in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways. Despite being over five decades old, the rug is in excellent condition, with its wool foundation ensuring both durability and softness.

This one-of-a-kind Afghan Sumak rug is more than just a carpet—it is a piece of history, carrying with it the tribal traditions and weaving mastery of Herat artisans. Its rarity and beauty make it a valuable collectible for vintage textile lovers.
