This Afghan antique rug measures 9' 8" x 18' 8" and presents a disciplined field of repeating octagonal medallions across a warm neutral ground. Brown, cream, terracotta, and muted blue tones create a grounded palette, while the border holds the composition with a compact geometric floral rhythm. The surface shows low distress and a softened finish that reads as quietly aged rather than heavily worn. Circa 1940 - 1965, it carries the visual restraint and patterned order that make Afghan weaving so enduring, with a steady balance between structure, colour, and timeworn character.
