10×13 Khal Mohammadi Afghan Area Rug
Across a generous red field, dark navy branches trace a delicate pattern of cherry blossoms. At a distance, the tiny flowers blend into a fine geometric repeat. Up close, each has its own touch of dark red or orange. The small scale of the drawing lets the richness of the red carry across a room.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Weavers hand-knotted the Kurk wool pile onto a cotton foundation at 100 knots per square inch. The close knotting gives definition to the slender branches and keeps the small areas of color distinct. Wool brings warmth and resilience underfoot, while cotton gives the rug a stable structure for everyday use.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug interprets a flowering branch through the geometry of Turkmen Bokhara design. Its character comes from that restraint: with a few angled lines and a change of yarn color, the weavers suggest an entire blossom.
