Quality
Hand-knotted from fine Welayati Kurk wool, each knot (92 per square inch) locks color into place for a luxuriously dense surface that feels as good as it looks. The cotton foundation keeps the rug lying flat and stable—perfect for high-traffic rooms that deserve a hint of indulgence.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Woven in Balkh, northern Afghanistan, this piece carries forward the Turkmen Yousifby design language—sharp diamond lattices and stepped medallions that symbolize protection and prosperity. Local artisans hand-spin and dye the wool using time-honored methods, so every rug tells a story you can see and feel the moment it reaches your floor.
