Hand-knotted in wool, this square rug, originating from Afghanistan, features a dark blue field with warm fiery orange and red play of hues in the abstract patterns across the field. On the design: Inspired by antique Chinese pictorial rugs—specifically animal rugs with mythological references of the most regal look, this modern rug is a very regal design from our Modern Classics Collection. This particular design recaptures a Kirin (or “Qilin” in some spellings), as seen by the creature with dragon-like and lion-like features in the central field. Against a dark blue field, the design features orange, red and beige/brown tones in the abstract patterns across the field.
