Only 1 in stock
If you have been searching for a traditional geometric tribal carpet but have struggled to find one that fits a wider floor plan, this Aktche carpet is your perfect solution. It offers all the honest, time-tested charm of nomadic design but benefits from a significantly unusual wide width that makes this piece that much more special. It is a commanding, robust carpet engineered to elevate any space it occupies.
Masterful Proportions and Luminous Color
-
The Radiant Crimson Field: The ground is a beautiful shade of rich red, achieved through good quality dyesthat give the wool a deep, saturated glow.
-
The Mighty Elephant Foot: Anchoring the expansive field are three rows of iconic Elephant Foot designs (Güls). Because of the rug’s extra width, these medallions have plenty of room to breathe, creating a balanced, stately rhythm.
-
The Balancing Border System: Framing this magnificent field is a multiple wide border that adds immense balance and beauty to the overall composition. The substantial scale of the borders perfectly counterweights the large central motifs, creating a harmonious visual harmony.
High-Grade Nomadic Craftsmanship
Woven with high-quality wool, this carpet possesses a luxurious visual texture and a strong, heavy handle. Aktche rugs are celebrated for their “workhorse” durability, and this robust piece is no exception. It is highly resistant to foot traffic and furniture weight, making it a spectacular and practical investment for a busy family room, a grand library, or under a large square dining table.
