Quality
The pile is made from Ghazni handspun wool, a material valued for its natural texture, resilience, and subtle variation in tone. The wool is knotted over a sturdy cotton foundation, giving the rug both structure and long-term stability. With an average density of 82 knots per square inch, the weave provides enough definition to bring out the intricate geometry and floral detailing while preserving the substantial character associated with hand-knotted Afghan rugs. The result is a durable, practical piece designed to age beautifully with regular use.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug reflects a region with a long-established weaving tradition shaped by tribal patterns, strong geometry, and richly layered ornament. The Bidjar influence is expressed through its dense arrangement of motifs and disciplined composition, while the Afghan workmanship gives the rug its own distinctive texture and character. Every knot is tied by hand, leaving subtle variations that distinguish the piece from machine-made reproductions and give it the individuality expected from an authentic handmade rug.
