No. 600 - Vintage Alikhoja Rug Product Number: No. 600 Era: 1970s Origin: Baghlan, Afghanistan Material: Wool x Wool Size: 124cm x 191cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 6mm This rug, with its wonderful combination of vibrant orange, brown, and gray, is a tribal rug called Alikhoja, woven in a workshop of the Pashtun people of Turkmen origin in northern Afghanistan. Alikhoja rugs are known for their fine weave despite being thin. While the standard size is usually around the size of a doormat, this one is a rather large living room size. Due to the fine weave, it's clear how much time and effort went into creating this piece. The pile is short, giving it a smooth texture. As a vintage rug from 55 years ago, it doesn't show much wear and tear. It's in mint condition, with no noticeable stains or damage, and no signs of repair. Its simple design makes it a calm and modern vintage rug.

However, some items have not been repaired, prioritizing their appearance, such as when there are no significant issues. Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we may not notice. We purchase these items from local sellers as having been cleaned. However, please note that some sand or pile debris may remain. Also, occasionally, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but these will blend in with use. *Severe issues are cleaned domestically during inspection, but if necessary, this is noted in the description and reflected in the price. Finally, regarding the rug itself, there is a characteristic wool smell. Measurements are taken in the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the distortions inherent in hand-woven rugs, shrinkage from water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant-based dyes. These are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
