Antique Red Afghanistan Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: 1900s. This compelling tribal piece originates from Afghanistan, showcasing the robust weaving traditions characteristic of the Baluch people in the region during the early 20th century. The dense, hand-knotted pile provides both durability and a rich textural quality, immediately signaling its authenticity as a nomadic creation.
