Afghan Yusof Bai 9.11 x 2.10 Runner – Geometric Rosettes in Deep Indigo Frame

Origin 

The Yusof Bai rugs were made in northern Afghan weaving communities that had an expression of nomadic symbolism undertaken by a structural symmetry and tribal iconography. Geometric patterns are traditional tribal marks by Turkoman weavers to show their culture and harmony, and have been passed down through generations in richly dyed and colourful pieces that can be seen as symbols of unending life, power, and art passed down through hundreds of years.

Materials

The rug is made with all highland Afghan wool, which is spun manually and colored with natural dye using plant-based extracts. The stiff fibers make it maintain the vividness of color,,b ut they soften with time and provide the qualities of tactile warmth and lustrous patina. The wool, which comprises lanolin, is also resistant to wear and seasonal variations of climate thus it can be used at any time.

Design

Red and green star-rosettes are set in a vertical rhythm over an inky indigo ground, whose borders are a rhythm of a series of highly complex diamond patterns. The attentiveness of dissimilarity combined with a certain symmetry brings about a tribal power and lucidity. This long, elegant runner pattern is brought out by the accents of ivory, orange, and navy, which provide the depth and dimension of this long, elegant runner layout.

Craftsmanship

All Yusof Bai runners are hand knotted closely, with a (50 x 50) density; this makes them very precise and long-lasting. Its regular weave pattern is able to take firm geometric lines, yet it is flexible. Each of the rugs is a result of a painstaking process of keeping the culture alive, having been perfected over time by generations of master weavers.

Heritage

Yusof Bai lineage in Afghan weaving fabrics maintains designs that were formerly employed by tribal rulers and nomads in pastoralists. These are not mere decorations as the repetition rosettes symbolize safety and wealth. That spiritual geometry is drawn by this runner and it gives a legacy as well as functionality and fits perfectly in a modern home where cultural diversity and history are needed.

A timeless corridor accent rooted in Afghan tribal order—this Yusof Bai runner weaves color, purpose, and cultural legacy with every knot.
