Quality
Crafted with approximately 82 KPSI (knots per square inch), this rug offers a beautiful balance between durability, texture, and artistic clarity. The pile is made from premium Ghazni hand-spun wool, prized for its resilience, softness, and natural luster. Its hand-spun character gives the surface subtle tonal movement and depth, while the cotton foundation adds structural strength for long-lasting performance. Designed to age gracefully, this heirloom-quality rug develops even more character over time.
Origin & Tradition
This rug is handwoven in Maymana, Afghanistan, a historic weaving region celebrated for its tribal rugs and centuries-old craftsmanship. Gabbeh rugs are admired for their artistic simplicity, spacious compositions, and deeply personal symbolism. Unlike highly intricate city rugs, Gabbeh weaving embraces freedom of expression—allowing artisans to create bold, soulful designs inspired by daily life, landscapes, and nature. Every knot reflects a living tradition passed down through generations of Afghan weavers.
