Quality & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch, this rug features Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation. The yarn’s subtle variations enrich the surface, bringing tactile depth to the geometric composition. Wool’s natural resilience offers comfort and durability for regular use, while the cotton foundation contributes flexibility. With proper care, it is a substantial piece to enjoy for years.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug pairs Afghan hand-knotting skill with the bold geometry of Caucasian Kazak design. Its repeated motifs give the composition continuity, allowing traditional ornament to unfold across a generous scale. Each individually tied knot contributes to a textile whose appeal rests in both its decorative presence and the skilled handwork behind it.
