Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni handspun wool lends tactile richness to the pile, with subtle variations in the yarn giving the surface depth. Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug balances defined pattern work with a flexible construction. Wool’s natural resilience offers durability and comfort underfoot, making it a substantial piece for everyday enjoyment with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug interprets Caucasian Kazak design through Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship. Its angular symbols and repeated ornaments create a composition that rewards viewing both from across the room and up close. The individual work behind each knot brings a human touch to its monumental scale—a compelling balance of decorative presence and artisan detail.
