This exceptional large tribal rug is a luxurious showcase of Afghan weaving heritage, designed in the revered Mauri Gul style. Created by the nomadic Turkoman tribes, this rug reflects generations of artistry, with a rich palette and intricate geometry that tells a story of resilience, identity, and cultural pride.
The Mauri Gul design—distinguished by its repeating octagonal “Gul” medallions—has been a foundational pattern in Afghan rugs for centuries. It represents a symbolic blend of protection, unity, and tradition, and remains one of the most iconic and enduring motifs in tribal weaving.
What makes this particular piece truly special is its elegant use of golden tones. These warm gold and amber shades bring a vibrant luminosity to the rug, highlighting the bold structure of the Gul motifs and giving the piece an almost regal presence. The golden hues are beautifully offset by deep burgundies, earthy browns, and charcoal accents, creating a rich, harmonious contrast that makes the design come alive.
Woven in northern Afghanistan, near the bustling trade hub of Mazar-e-Sharif, this rug comes from a region steeped in the history of textile production. Just south of the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, this area has long been a center of nomadic and artisan rug-making traditions.
Handcrafted using 100% natural wool, this rug is soft underfoot yet highly durable—perfect for both everyday living and formal spaces. The fibers are dyed with natural plant- and mineral-based pigments, ensuring both environmental sustainability and long-lasting vibrancy.
Whether you're decorating a grand living room, a sophisticated study, or a curated gallery space, this Mauri Gul rug with golden highlights adds warmth, elegance, and a sense of history to any interior. It's not just a rug—it’s a woven legacy of Afghan culture and craftsmanship.
