This Afghan Shirazi rug displays a classic medallion design centered on a rich red field. The central medallion features intricate geometric patterns surrounded by complementary border designs that frame the composition beautifully. The warm red backdrop is accented with blues, ivory, and earth tones that create a harmonious and inviting color palette. The traditional motifs reflect the enduring appeal of Persian-inspired designs.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan weavers using time-honored techniques passed down through generations, this rug is made entirely from 100% wool. The dense hand-knotted construction with 25-35 knots per square inch ensures exceptional durability and longevity. Afghan wool, particularly the prized Ghazni variety, is renowned for its resilience and natural luster, making this rug both a functional floor covering and a lasting investment.

At 5' 7" x 7' 7", this rug works beautifully in medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms. The proportions allow for flexible furniture arrangements while providing ample coverage for seating areas. The classic design suits both traditional and transitional interiors.
