Inspired by the distinctive Sevan (Sewan) rugs of the Caucasus, this beautiful Afghan-made rug celebrates one of the most recognizable designs in traditional Caucasian weaving: the bold, shield-shaped central medallion.
An oversized geometric shield dominates the rich red field, with soft sage-green sections, intricate hooked motifs, and striking accents of ivory, blue, and golden yellow. The symmetrical composition is enriched by stylized botanical forms and traditional tribal ornaments, creating a design that feels both powerful and remarkably balanced.
Surrounding the central composition, a wide sky-blue border features repeating geometric floral motifs in lively shades of red, green, ivory, and gold. Delicate diamond-patterned guard borders add another layer of detail, beautifully framing the dramatic central design.
The rug's vibrant colours, architectural geometry, and intricate detailing reflect the artistic traditions of historic Caucasian Kazak weaving. Made in Afghanistan, it offers a fresh interpretation of a centuries-old design, bringing together traditional craftsmanship and timeless visual appeal.
With its commanding pattern and beautiful interplay of colours, this rug makes a striking statement in a living room, bedroom, or thoughtfully curated space, complementing everything from traditional and eclectic interiors to modern settings.
