This blue Afghan oriental rug showcases the distinctive Onyx collection's signature oxidized texture, where selected areas of the wool pile have been carefully removed through a specialized chemical process. The geometric patterns emerge in rich jewel tones against the deep blue field, creating dimensional depth that shifts subtly in different lighting. The oxidation technique produces an almost carved appearance, giving this piece remarkable visual and tactile interest.

Woven by skilled Afghan artisans using traditional hand-knotting methods, this rug features high-quality Ghazni wool known for its durability and lustrous finish. The intricate oxidation process requires exceptional expertise, as weavers must perfectly balance the chemical treatment to achieve the desired texture without compromising the wool's integrity. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures both beauty and longevity for generations of use.

At 3' 10" x 5' 8", this rug works beautifully as an accent piece in studies, bedrooms, or smaller living areas. The size suits furniture groupings like a reading chair with side table or positioned at the foot of a bed. The sophisticated blue palette and geometric design complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
