{"product_id":"blue-afghan-traditional-rug-7-2-x-14-5-hand-knotted-no-at55340","title":"Blue Afghan Oriental Rug 7' 2\" x 14' 5\" Hand-Knotted | No. AT55340","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bold geometric border frames a calmer central field on this blue Afghan hand-knotted rug, creating the kind of visual contrast that gives a large rug its structure. The dominant blue runs through both the field and the patterning, shifting in intensity across the design and picking up secondary tones that keep the surface from reading as flat. The overall effect is traditional without being heavy, with the geometry staying crisp and well-defined across the full length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in Afghanistan from Ghazni wool, this rug benefits from the dense, lanolin-rich fiber that Afghan highland sheep produce. That natural lanolin content means the pile resists soiling and holds its color well over years of daily use. Hand-knotting at this scale requires a skilled weaver working a vertical loom over many months, and the tight knot structure shows in the sharpness of the geometric patterning throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt roughly seven by fourteen feet, this rug is well suited to a formal dining room, a generous living room, or a wide hallway that needs something with real presence. It pairs naturally with dark wood furniture and works equally well in contemporary or traditionally furnished rooms.
