7×11 Deep Olive Afghan Bokhara Hand-knotted Wool Rug
Tiny cherry blossoms dot a field of dark olive green. Each flower holds a touch of red or orange, echoing the orange-red borders in miniature. Dark navy branches give the blossoms a crisp outline, yet the olive remains the color you notice first. The palette sits beautifully alongside walnut furniture and natural linen.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Weavers hand-knotted the Kurk wool pile onto a cotton foundation at 100 knots per square inch. That density gives definition to details as small as the bend in a branch. The cotton provides a stable base, while the wool feels soft underfoot and has the natural resilience for regular use.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug draws on the geometric tradition of Turkmen Bokhara weaving. Its charm lies in the scale of the work: across nearly eleven feet, the weavers build an intricate floral pattern from the repetition of one simple blossom.
