Burgundy Traditional Afghan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug, Bilicik

Handwoven Afghan Pattern Burgundy Wool Bilicik Rug, has a striking appearance that completes the warmth of décor in living spaces featuring natural stone walls, solid wood ceiling beams, and a fireplace.

01Reading the motif

The depth of the Burgundy base becomes more pronounced alongside the warm glow created by the fire, while Afghan Turkmen motifs evoke the feeling of a home that has been lived in for years. A seating arrangement with cream-toned sofas, cushions made from natural linen fabrics, and large walnut coffee tables allows the patterns to be easily appreciated.

02What it sits well with

Ceramic vases, copper objects, and handmade wooden accessories placed on open shelving systems positioned on either side of the fireplace create a natural harmony with the rug’s ethnic lines.

03Color, by the light

Large windows that let in daylight and light-colored floor-length curtains help the Burgundy tones display different transitions throughout the day. Warm-colored lighting chosen in the evening gives the patterns a softer appearance. In open-plan living spaces where a solid wood dining table is positioned near the seating area, color harmony is preserved, while wool-textured blankets and poufs made from natural fibers support the room’s warm atmosphere.  Handwoven Afghan Pattern Burgundy Wool Bilicik Rug creates a reading nook with the balanced impact of Burgundy tones when paired with a dark-colored leather armchair, a brass-bodied floor lamp, and green plants with large leaves.

04The origin of the pattern

In décor featuring large wood-framed paintings and textured wall surfaces, Afghan Turkmen patterns appear as though they are a natural part of their surroundings. Completely handwoven by Turkmen and Afghan artisans living in Afghanistan, Bilicik rugs use natural wool and cotton yarn.

05From ground to pile

The foundation is cotton, while the surface is wool, allowing the area touched during use to convey the feel of natural wool. Considered among the highest-quality examples in the Afghan Turkmen collection, Bilicik rugs take approximately four weeks to weave per square meter.

06Coming off the loom

Their high knot density ensures long-lasting use, while the freehand-woven motifs mean that every Bilicik rug features subtle pattern variations and develops its own distinctive identity. Measuring 122 x 180 cm, it offers balanced versatility for use in relaxation areas, home offices, and spacious entryways. It is completely handwoven by Turkmen and Afghan artisans in Afghanistan with a high knot density. With a cotton foundation and a surface made from natural wool yarn, it offers a warm, comfortable, and natural experience. The fact that approximately one square meter takes four weeks to weave demonstrates that the product is made with intensive labor and superior craftsmanship. Since each rug is woven freehand, its motifs feature subtle variations, and each one has its own distinctive character. Thanks to its high weaving quality, it offers the durability to be used for many years and is a special piece of value that can be passed down from generation to generation.
