Drone Medallion


ID#:1811,
Original Medallion Drone War Rug with Dark blue field.
The knots in this rug really look like they are symetrical, or Turkish knots, which is exceptionally rare in Afghan carpets. It is hard to tell without tearing into the rug, but I have concluded they are asymmetrical open right, and the warp depression has pushed the left node above the right node, making it look like symmetrical knot.

Light Blue Drone Medallion War Rug -2020
This rug is in new, perfect condition. The knotting is excellent and the wool is very good hand spun Ghazni wool. Recently, though, warrug.com learned that some of the best hand spun wool in Afghan "Chobi" rugs is imported from Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

This rug is surprisingly heavy from its dense, thick wool and somewhat long pile.

Drone Medallion on Sky Blue Field
In 2020 two piece of this design were woven. This example has uses darker colors, with a dark blue background, and a darker blue inside the medallion. Each rug uses a buff color for one quadrant of the medallion, and half the drone and the medallion background are the same color.

All the colors are very rich. The rug is heavy from the dense, high quality wool.

Condition is new and perfect.

This rug seems to be a riff on antique (and contemporary) Turkmen designs known by the name of the 19th century town where tribal and workshop rugs were consolidated, Bokara, or Bukhara. Warrug doesn't traffic in antiques, but the rug in this link is an example of an Ersari Turkment rug
