Stunning Handwoven Bashiri Carpet/Rug - Size: 300x200cm

• A Bashiri carpet (often called Beshir) is a highly prized, hand-knotted oriental rug woven by tribal artisans in Northern Afghanistan.
• Famous for their rich, deep red color palettes and intricate geometric or floral lattice designs, these rugs blend traditional tribal character with refined craftsmanship.

Materials:

• They are traditionally hand-woven using 100% natural, hand-spun Ghazni or Karakul wool, which gives the pile a soft, velvety texture and a natural sheen.

Color Palette:

• The base fields are typically deep madder reds, terracotta, or earthy browns.
• The colors are traditionally achieved through natural vegetable dyes, such as walnut, pomegranate, or wild flora.

Design Motifs:

• While sometimes sharing the geometric octagonal motifs (like the "elephant's foot") of classic Afghan Turkmen rugs, many Bashiri rugs are famous for their repeating geometric floral motifs, compartment layouts, and complex multi-border frames.

Durability:

• Known for high knot density and strong construction, they are highly durable and age beautifully, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms or libraries.
