Khorjin Afghan Rug – Rust Checkerboard

This hand-knotted Khorjin Afghan rug was masterfully woven in Afghanistan, hand-selected for its premium hand-spun Ghazni wool, resilient construction, and elegant transitional styling.

The rug features a beautifully textured field showing a classic Bakhtiari-inspired grid layout set against a rich, abrash rust-red frame. Arranged across the centre are twelve distinct rectangular compartments alternating between charcoal black, silver grey, and muted beige backdrops. These panels intricately showcase tribal motifs, including detailed trees of life, stylised central palmettes, and geometric floral sprays. The wide rust-red outer border is finely decorated with repeating geometric shrubs and small tribal rosettes. Elegant accent tones of terracotta, charcoal, soft cream, and gold bring a lively, sophisticated colour palette to this 82 x 118 cm piece, making it a highly versatile styling element for smaller Kiwi spaces, bedside setups, or entryways.

Khorjin rugs are celebrated for using ultra-durable Ghazni wool, prized for its lustrous texture and remarkable absorption of vegetable dyes, bringing authentic Afghan craftsmanship and generational durability to your home.
