This is a beautiful and fine quality brand new handmade Afghan Baluch accent rug.  Hand-knotted in the villages of Northwest Afghanistan, rugs such as these have been made by tribal Baluchi weavers for generations.  The bold double medallion geometric design is hand-knotted with crisp details and a high knot count on a bright strawberry red backdrop.  Copper, royal blue, plum and white bring the patterns to life with geometric repeating motifs and charming flower and cross details. The border is a particularly decorative element of the rug with multiple layers of repeating geometric garlands of waves and diamonds in blue and white against the red.  Made by hand with natural wool and only natural dyes, this rug can withstand high traffic and will last lifetimes. The natural wool is soft and sturdy and easy to maintain.  The versatile size makes for a great gift, or a perfect rug for an entrance, hallway, kitchen, foyer, bathroom, child's room, office, etc.  Can even be used as a tapestry or wall hanging, or draped over a couch or chair.  Size: 2'9"x4'8"
