Quality & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch, this rug features Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation. Subtle variations in the yarn give the surface tactile depth, enriching the illustrated details. The cotton foundation contributes flexibility, while the pile’s natural resilience offers comfort underfoot and durability for regular use with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this piece brings Afghan hand-knotting skill to a pictorial Gabbeh design. Familiar natural forms become elements of an imagined garden, giving the rug an engaging, personal character. Each individually tied knot contributes to a textile that celebrates both decorative imagination and the patient work of its making.
