Hand-Knotted Afghani Bakhteiari Wool Rug – 3’5″  x  5’1″

Quiet Geometry, Warm Grounding

A cream field frames a grid of botanical medallions—burgundy, deep blue, umber, and moss—finished with soft fringe. The pattern feels collected, like pages in a well-loved book.

Pattern to live with

Hand-Knotted Afghani Bakhteiari Wool Rug — 3’5″ x 5’1″

Classic blocks, modern calm

Small rooms and in-between spaces often feel unfinished. The Afghani Bakhteiari grid brings order without stiffness—each panel a quiet moment that settles the eye. Wool pile over cotton foundation adds gentle texture that welcomes bare feet and anchors furniture without visual weight.

Color that breathes

Cream grounds the palette while saturated reds, blues, and greens add conversation-level interest instead of noise. The hand-knotted detail rewards close looking—something you notice when guests linger or when the house finally goes quiet. At 3’5″ x 5’1″, it slips easily into an entry, study, or reading corner and changes how the space feels underfoot.

For the room that deserves a pause

Someone who collects thoughtfully and wants a compact, character-rich rug with traditional Afghan weaving and a wool pile on cotton foundation.

Place it well

Lay it at an entry or beneath a reading chair to define the area and soften the step with its approx. 0.45″ thickness.
