This compact Balisht rug displays a lively mix of colors across its traditional floral field. The intricate botanical motifs weave together warm reds, deep blues, and cream accents in the time-honored Afghan style. The dense pattern creates visual richness while maintaining the balanced proportions that make Balisht designs so enduring. Each flower and vine emerges clearly against the varied ground, giving this small rug considerable presence.

Woven by skilled artisans in Afghanistan using 100% wool at 30-40 knots per square inch, this piece represents generations of weaving knowledge. Afghan craftsmen work with locally sourced Ghazni wool, prized for its durability and natural luster that improves with age. The tight knotting and quality materials ensure this rug will maintain its beauty through decades of use, developing the rich patina that collectors value.

At 1' 7" x 3' 10", this rug works perfectly as an accent piece beside a reading chair, in front of a bathroom vanity, or as a bedside runner. Its compact size makes it ideal for apartments, studies, or any space where you want authentic Afghan craftsmanship without overwhelming the room. The Balisht collection offers timeless appeal, while this 3 x 5 size provides maximum versatility. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
