Quality
Woven with a Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation, this runner offers both beauty and strength. Ghazni wool is valued for its natural resilience, soft texture, and ability to hold color beautifully over time. With a knot count of approximately 82 KPSI, the rug has a durable construction while still allowing the tribal motifs to appear clear and expressive. Its hand-knotted structure gives it the lasting quality expected from a true artisan-made runner.
Origin & Tradition
This rug was hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, a region known for producing distinctive Afghan rugs with strong tribal influence and practical durability. The Bakhtiari-inspired brick pattern gives the piece a sense of rhythm and heritage, while the navy blue color brings it into a more transitional, design-forward style. Every square motif carries its own personality, creating a runner that feels collected, meaningful, and truly one of a kind.
