Since the 18th century, village weavers have produced rugs of bold geometric clarity, with stepped medallions, hooked motifs and stylised figures carried in strong, saturated colour. Antique Caucasian pieces are highly sought after by collectors; today the same design tradition is continued in fine workshop production in \u003cstrong\u003eAfghanistan\u003c\/strong\u003e, where master weavers preserve the geometric vocabulary in hand-spun highland wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was \u003cstrong\u003ehand-knotted in Afghanistan\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003e100% hand-spun highland virgin wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Stepped geometric medallions run down the centre of the field, framed by small hooked motifs, stars and stylised tribal figures scattered evenly across an open ground, with multiple geometric borders enclosing the composition. The turquoise in particular gives the rug an unusually fresh, light character for a tribal Caucasian design. Because the field reads the same from every side, the rug is especially easy to place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e245 × 299 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e (7.3 m²) this is a generous large room-size piece.
