Quality
Hand-knotted from Ghazni handspun wool over a durable cotton foundation, this rug combines the natural character of traditional wool with the strength required for a substantial floor covering. Its approximately 82 knots per square inch provide enough definition to articulate the angular medallions and smaller floral details while preserving the distinctive texture associated with handwoven Afghan rugs. Ghazni wool is valued for its resilience and naturally rich appearance, allowing the pile to develop greater character with use while remaining well suited to living rooms, dining areas, and other large interior spaces.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug reflects the enduring weaving traditions of northern Afghanistan while drawing on the distinctive visual language of classic Heriz carpets. Heriz designs are recognized for their bold geometry, strong medallion structures, and stylized floral elements. Here, that tradition is interpreted through a commanding three-medallion layout and a layered blue, navy, orange, and red palette. The result is a one-of-a-kind Afghan rug that carries traditional craftsmanship into interiors seeking scale, color, and architectural presence.
