Quality
Made with a Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug offers both softness and durability. Ghazni wool is valued for its natural strength, rich texture, and ability to hold color beautifully over time. With a knot count of 82 knots per square inch, the rug has enough density to define its floral pattern with clarity while maintaining the relaxed, handmade character that makes each piece unique. Its cotton foundation adds stability, helping the rug keep its shape through years of use.
Origin & Tradition
Woven in Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug reflects a long-standing Afghan weaving tradition shaped by Persian design influence and local artisan skill. The Sultan Abadi style is known for its open floral movement, graceful vines, and decorative balance, making it especially suitable for elegant living rooms, dining spaces, and large bedrooms. Every knot is tied by hand, giving this rug a sense of authenticity and quiet luxury that machine-made pieces cannot reproduce.
