This Afghan Onyx rug displays a sophisticated geometric pattern rendered in deep blue tones that shift gracefully across the field. The oxidized pile technique creates distinctive textural variations where certain areas have been chemically treated to achieve varying heights and lustrous depths. Charcoal accents frame the central medallions and corner motifs, while the blue field maintains rich jewel-like intensity throughout. The interplay between the raised and lowered pile sections produces subtle shadow effects that change with room lighting.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting methods, this piece showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the Onyx technique. The process involves selective oxidation of specific wool areas after the initial knotting is complete, requiring considerable expertise to achieve the desired textural contrast. High-quality Ghazni wool provides the foundation for both durability and the distinctive sheen that makes Onyx rugs particularly sought after. Natural dyes ensure the colors will age gracefully while maintaining their depth.

At 5' 9" x 8' 6", this rug works well in medium to large living rooms, positioned under coffee tables or defining seating areas.
