Quality
This rug is hand-knotted with a luxurious Welayati Kurk wool pile over a strong cotton foundation. Kurk wool is prized for its fine texture and softness, allowing the weavers to create the precise curves and smaller decorative elements required by this detailed floral design. With approximately 100 knots per square inch, the rug offers impressive pattern definition while maintaining the resilience expected from a high-quality hand-knotted carpet. The cotton foundation provides additional structural stability, making it suitable for years of use in a well-appointed interior.
Origin & Tradition
Handcrafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug reflects the skill of Afghan weavers while drawing artistic inspiration from the celebrated Persian Nain tradition. The Lachak Turanje format—a central medallion complemented by ornamental corner elements—is one of the enduring compositions of classical Persian carpet design. Here, sweeping floral vines and carefully arranged blossoms soften the geometry of the medallion, while the cream and navy palette lends the piece a particularly elegant character. The result is a distinctive meeting of Persian design heritage and Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship.
