Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni handspun wool gives the pile a textured richness, with subtle variations in the yarn adding character throughout. Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug combines defined motifs with a supple construction. Naturally resilient wool offers comfort underfoot and durability for regular use, with proper care helping preserve its beauty.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug brings a pictorial approach to Gabbeh design. Its garden scene turns the floor into a woven landscape, celebrating the decorative charm of birds and trees. Behind the imagery is the patient work of building a textile knot by knot—a process that gives this substantial piece the individual character of Afghan hand craftsmanship.
