Quality
Woven entirely by hand, each knot is set from resilient, lanolin-rich Ghazni wool—prized for its soft hand, gentle sheen, and remarkable wear. At approximately 92 KPSI, the weave achieves elegant detail without sacrificing durability, making it suitable for everyday living. The cotton foundation keeps the rug true to shape, while the carefully sheared, low pile resists matting and ages into a graceful patina.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Maymana, Faryab, this piece continues a lineage inspired by the 15th-century Mamluk court carpets—renowned for sacred geometry and architectural balance. Afghan master weavers reinterpret that heritage with natural rhythm and disciplined symmetry, producing a rug that feels both storied and current. Choosing this rug supports artisan communities and brings a living tradition of Afghan craftsmanship into your home.
