Quality
Woven at approximately 82 knots per square inch (KPSI), this rug offers a refined balance between durability and detail. The Ghazni wool, prized for its strength and natural sheen, delivers a soft yet resilient surface that performs beautifully in both formal and high-traffic settings. Its handspun character introduces subtle tonal shifts, giving the rug depth and individuality. Over time, the wool develops a richer patina, enhancing its visual appeal rather than wearing out—making it a long-term investment in both comfort and design.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Maymana, Afghanistan, a region celebrated for its heritage of fine weaving, this rug reflects generations of artistry rooted in Persian-inspired design traditions. The Sultan Abadi pattern, reinterpreted by Afghan weavers, is known for its open floral layouts and soft, harmonious palettes. Each piece is woven entirely by hand, preserving techniques that have been passed down for centuries—resulting in a rug that carries both cultural depth and timeless elegance.
