This Khal Mohammadi rug presents a rich maroon field anchored by traditional geometric medallions in deep burgundy and black. The intricate border work features repeating diamond motifs that frame the central design with mathematical precision. Classic octagonal guls dot the field in orderly rows, each rendered in darker tones that create subtle contrast against the warm maroon base. The overall effect is both formal and inviting, with a color palette that speaks to centuries of Afghan weaving tradition.

Hand-knotted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using time-honored Khal Mohammadi techniques, this rug showcases the dense construction and fine detailing that define this regional style. The foundation is built from durable wool sourced from local flocks, while natural dyes create the deep, saturated colors that will maintain their richness for generations. Each knot represents hours of careful work by weavers who have inherited their craft through family lines spanning decades.

At nearly 6.5 by 9.5 feet, this rug anchors a living room or dining space with authority, fitting comfortably under standard furniture arrangements. The generous proportions work well with sectional seating or a dining table for six to eight guests. Browse our complete Khal Mohammadi collection or explore more options in our 7 x 10 size range.
