Vintage Claret Quatrefoil Rug 4’2” × 6’9” Circa 1965-1980

A richly patterned vintage Afghan rug featuring eight distinctive quatrefoil medallions arranged in a symmetrical composition against a saturated claret-red field. Deep indigo outlines define the geometric motifs, while smaller floral and angular details create an intricate, layered design.

Multiple decorative borders frame the composition, including a particularly charming band of stylized birds and geometric ornamentation. Subtle accents of ivory, muted olive, and dusty rose bring contrast to the predominantly red and indigo palette. Its balanced proportions make it a striking choice for an entryway, sitting area, or layered interior.
