8ft Blue Turquoise Erased Persian Round Rug
Blue turquoise and red create a striking frame for a pattern that seems to emerge and recede across this hand-knotted round rug. Its Persian-inspired Kharchang design features deliberately erased details, giving the floral composition the softened appearance of a timeworn textile. The circular shape brings an inviting sense of balance to a seating area or beneath a round table.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni handspun wool pile adds tactile richness, with subtle variations in the yarn lending character to the surface. Hand-knotted on a cotton foundation at 82 knots per square inch, the rug balances decorative detail with wool’s natural resilience. Its aged appearance is part of the design, while its all-wool construction offers comfort and durability for regular use with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece brings Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship to a Persian-inspired decorative vocabulary. The Kharchang composition combines stylized floral and animal-derived forms, reinterpreted here through selective pattern erasure. This contemporary treatment gives the traditional ornament a quieter presence, suited to interiors where antique character and modern simplicity meet.
