Description

RARE PAIR of delightful antique Afghan hand knotted wool runners. Good quality hand knotted wool runners of a very pleasing design and lovely natural colours. I have never seen an antique pair before, you get loads of modern machine made ones that are matching but to get an old pair is very un-common. The condition is pretty much OK but there is some minor wear to both of them and slight abrash to one of them.

SIZE; Both are 265cm by 83cm

CIRCA; 1920

FAQs

Antique Afghan rugs are traditionally hand-knotted by nomadic and village weavers using regional techniques passed down through generations, often featuring distinctive geometric guls and saturated natural dyes.

Authentic pieces are crafted from hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and foundation, sometimes incorporating cotton or goat hair, and dyed using organic materials like plant roots, bark, and minerals.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular hand-knotting density, natural wear patterns, variations in hand-spun wool texture, and the presence of organic, muted natural dye tones rather than synthetic colouring.

These runners add warmth and texture to minimalist or modern spaces when placed in transitional areas, grounding neutral colour palettes with rich cultural heritage and artisanal craftsmanship.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing every few years, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a breathable rug underlay.
