Afghan Feraghan Rug

Woollen Afghan Feraghan carpets like this pastel decorative piece are well known for their floral patterns, which are woven through the whole field. Many Feraghans have intricate floral patterns, but this rug has a more tribal feel from the design of the geometric medallions.This defined composition of less conventional floral motifs gives the rug a more rustic and more masculine feel, intensified by the gold tones used throughout the entire carpet.Feraghan rug design stems from the 19th century, and this carpet has been influenced by Persian Feraghan rugs of the time. These detailed rugs were and are full of frond patterns and floral palmettes.The borders of this Feraghan carpet are strewn with decorative features such as flowers and intricate vines, with the more geometric and bold medallions giving this piece a simpler feel. This use of pale blue and cream colours against the gold tones enhances this further. The subtlety of colour within this Afghan Feraghan Carpet makes it an excellent complementary feature in a space with striking, bold designs.
