Quality
Hand‑knotted—not tufted, not machine‑loomed. Every single knot of Biljik Premium Kurk wool is tied by hand, creating a supple surface that ages gracefully and resists everyday wear. The 156 KPSI count gives the pattern its sharp outlines while ensuring the rug keeps its shape for decades.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Maymana’s weavers have long been guardians of the Bakhtiari vocabulary of symbols—birds for freedom, blossoms for renewal, stars for protection. On Safa, those motifs appear inside the signature brick grid, each rendered with the subtle sheen of high‑land Kurk wool. From shearing the sheep to washing the finished weave, every step happens locally, sustaining a craft that has passed from hand to hand for generations.
Embrace a piece that feels collected, not produced—Safa is ready to anchor your space with the quiet confidence of true Afghan artistry.
