The main border is just as integral to the piece as the main geometric framework overall. This handwoven rug has a meandering vine and rosette border with alternating blue and yellow rosettes with soft red stylized vine. This more curvilinear border harmonises and softness the overal geometric main field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details : \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry or Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 172 x 121cm \/ 5'8\" x 4'0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081600012619,"sku":"TORM-1050-HANDMADE AFGHAN SERAPI RUG-172 X 121CM","price":729.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Serapi-1.72x1.21m_MAIN.jpg?v=1786283377","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/serapi-rug-from-afghanistan","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
