Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni handspun wool gives the pile tactile richness, with subtle variations in the yarn adding texture to the jewel-toned palette. Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug combines defined pattern work with a flexible construction. Naturally resilient wool offers comfort underfoot and durability for regular use, with proper care helping preserve its beauty.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this piece interprets Mamluk design through Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship. Its medallion-led composition turns geometric forms into an elaborate decorative arrangement, with each individually tied knot contributing to the finished pattern. The result is a substantial artisan-made textile, equally compelling as a room’s centerpiece and as an object of close appreciation.
