3x5'5 ft Vintage Afghan Pile Rug | Handknotted Tribal All-Over Cross Anchor Motif | Vivid Red & Dark Navy Wool | Accent Rug Bedroom Entryway

About this rug

A vibrant and strikingly bold vintage Afghan pile rug with a vivid red field that absolutely glows — rich, saturated, and deeply warm. The field is filled with an all-over repeat of large stylized cross and anchor motifs arranged in alternating rows, each one rendered in dusty sky blue, ivory, olive green, and gold against the open red ground. The motifs have a distinctive, almost heraldic quality — bold central square forms with projecting arms, hooks, and arrow tips radiating outward, giving the composition an energetic, graphic character that feels both ancient and surprisingly contemporary.
The repeat alternates between two sizes — larger, more elaborate cross forms in the odd rows and smaller, simpler versions in the even rows — creating a layered rhythm across the field that keeps the eye moving. The open red ground between the motifs is generous, allowing each form to breathe and stand alone with confidence.
The border is deep navy carrying a continuous flowing vine and rosette scroll in pink, coral, and gold — organic and graceful against the rigid geometry of the field, providing a beautiful contrast. Narrow inner and outer guard stripes in red and green complete the frame. Coral pink fringe at both short ends adds a warm finishing touch.
Hand-knotted with a medium to high wool pile — thick, plush, and soft underfoot. At 3 x 5'5 ft it is a perfect accent rug for a bedroom, entryway, or living room layering piece.
