This Afghan Parak rug is defined by a striking radiating lattice pattern that expands outward from a dense central rosette. Hundreds of diamond-shaped compartments form a dynamic field, creating a powerful sense of movement and depth that draws the eye inward and then outward again.

The palette relies on strong contrast rather than excess color: warm ivory and beige geometry is set against a deep, near-black ground, allowing the pattern to read with exceptional clarity. Within each compartment, subtle floral elements soften the structure without disrupting its rhythm.

A wide, disciplined border of repeating medallions frames the interior, grounding the energetic center and reinforcing the rug’s symmetry. From a distance, the rug feels bold and commanding; up close, it reveals intricate craftsmanship and fine detail.

At a full 7' × 10', this rug is designed to anchor large rooms—living spaces, dining areas, offices, or contract environments—where visual authority and long-term durability are equally important.

Mazar-e-Sharif is one of northern Afghanistan’s most respected weaving centers, known for producing rugs with dense knotting, low pile, and exceptional longevity. Afghan Parak rugs are rooted in a tradition of functional beauty—woven to endure daily life while maintaining visual strength.

Designs emphasizing repetition, symmetry, and radiating geometry are characteristic of the region, reflecting both tribal aesthetics and architectural influence. These rugs are built using Turkish or Persian knotting techniques depending on the design, resulting in surfaces that age gracefully and wear evenly over time.

Today, Afghan rugs are widely used in both residential and commercial settings, valued for their resilience, honest materials, and timeless visual language.

Akbar means “great,” “powerful,” or “commanding.” It is a name historically associated with authority, strength, and enduring presence.

The name reflects the rug’s visual structure: a commanding center, disciplined expansion, and an unmistakable sense of gravity. The radiating geometry does not disperse—it concentrates—giving the rug a presence that holds a room rather than decorating it lightly.

Akbar is a foundation piece. It anchors space through proportion, symmetry, and material strength, offering a quiet but undeniable authority meant to last for generations.
