On the Design:

Connoisseurs will note few works found of this nomadic provenance enjoy pictorial designs, let alone elaborate ones like this primitive depiction of a bustling city. Keen eyes will admire cars, helicopters, buildings and other scenery one seldom sees in tribal art known to favor human figures in this style. Its colorway includes rich brown, red, navy blue and warm orange tones, as well as off-white accents more present in the floral patterns throughout its border.

This is a rich piece of history and handmade folk art alike, both atypical for its origins and all shabby-chic rugs alike—a graphic and playful glimpse into the lives of its weavers.

Condition:

This mid-century Afghan rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Furthermore, its promotional price is in support of the women of Afghanistan. See less
