This Afghan Bakhtiar rug displays a rich green field adorned with traditional floral motifs that create an intricate botanical tapestry. The design features delicate palmettes and flowering vines that flow across the surface in symmetrical patterns, while the deep green backdrop provides a calming foundation. Multiple guard borders frame the central field, each containing complementary geometric and floral elements that enhance the rug's classical appeal.

Handcrafted by skilled Afghan artisans, this piece showcases the time-honored weaving traditions of the Bakhtiar tribal region. The foundation combines durable cotton warps and wefts with a plush wool pile, creating a rug built to withstand decades of use. Afghan weavers use locally sourced Ghazni wool, prized for its resilience and natural luster, while traditional dyeing techniques ensure the colors will remain vibrant over time.

At 4'11" x 7'3", this rug works beautifully in medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms. The proportions suit furniture arrangements with a sofa and coffee table or positioned under a dining table for six. This piece complements both traditional and transitional interiors, particularly those featuring warm wood tones or neutral color schemes.
