Origin & Tradition
This rug was hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, a region celebrated for producing some of the country’s most respected handmade rugs. Afghan weavers have preserved their craft through generations, combining meticulous hand-knotting techniques with distinctive regional artistry. The Mamluk design, known for its geometric precision and balanced medallion compositions, traces its roots to historic court carpets admired for their architectural beauty.
