Rug 93599

This rug is a small handwoven wool piece from Afghanistan, made in the Moroccan tribal style. It measures just under three feet wide by five feet long, making it compact, intimate, and versatile—perfect for a bedside, reading nook, or narrow space.
The foundation is cotton, while the pile is thick wool, woven with a low knot density and high pile height. The wool rises in a shaggy nap, soft to the touch, with a primitive tribal irregularity that emphasizes craft over precision.
The field is ivory-beige, almost snowy in tone, broken by scattered flecks of color: red, navy, pink, and light blue dots. These appear like random bursts of paint or petals strewn across fabric. The pattern is asymmetrical, simple, and abstract—no central medallion, no border, no corner detailing. Instead, it expresses spontaneity, like art created in the moment.
The edges are cleanly finished without fringe, giving the rug a neat boundary. Structurally it is sound and durable, though visually it embraces softness and imperfection. The muted dyes and uneven surface reflect a handmade quality, while the dots and speckles provide playful energy.
Culturally, it belongs to tribal weaving traditions, with Moroccan influence, created in a contemporary age for decorative use. It is both rustic and modern: a rug that feels as much like a piece of living art as it does a functional textile.
Placed in a room, it would add both comfort and whimsy—something to walk barefoot across, plush like fleece, while visually offering a scatter of joyful, painterly specks against a calm ivory ground.
