Afghan rugs - calm red tones and fine geometric patterns
The Afghan rug is one of the most beautiful and decorative oriental rugs, creating a lot of excitement with its uniform and clear geometric patterns. For centuries, the patterns and coloration of these rugs have remained unchanged. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, they adapt to just about any style of interior.
Afghan rugs
Afghan rugs have a long history. The original art of rug weaving came to the country with the Turkmen peoples from northern Afghanistan. Over time, it has evolved into the red and brown Afghan rugs, which have gained a lot of lovers due to their calm and down-to-earth aura. Thus, they are the counterpart to the classic flowery Persian rugs, which have a more lively nature.
Geometric patterns and dark colors
Typical of Afghan rugs are geometric, repeating patterns. Well-known designs include the Elephant Foot or Chapabaff, as well as the Khalmohammadi and Afghan Mauri. They all share basic red and brown colors and dark, almost black patterns. These patterns are very much abstracted traditions from art and culture.
How do Afghans use their rugs?
In Afghanistan itself, these rugs are the center of life. Quite different from Europe, many Afghans do not sit at the table, but sit down on the rug. With a few cushions around the edge, people eat, play and talk on an Afghan rug. It is also common that in Afghanistan, unlike in our country, not only one rug decorates the room, but many rugs lie next to each other and on top of each other.
What makes Afghan rugs so special?
In contrast to the very engaging Persian rugs, Afghan rugs appear calm and patient. The dark colors and recurring patterns are evenly matched and fit perfectly with any decor. Whether under a rustic - wooden dining table or in a modern furnished sofa corner. The calm disposition of Afghan rugs blends in very well and makes few demands on existing furnishings.
