Quality
Woven with Welayati Kurk wool, prized for its fine fiber, natural sheen, and smooth hand, this rug balances sophistication with everyday endurance. At approximately 133 knots per square inch, the pattern reads clean and precise while the medium-low pile resists wear in high-traffic areas. The cotton foundation provides dimensional stability, helping the rug lie flat and age gracefully. Expect a supple drape, excellent resiliency, and color that matures beautifully over time.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Maymana, a storied weaving hub in northwestern Afghanistan, this piece continues the Turkmen tradition of geometric order and symbolic motifs. Every knot reflects generations of expertise—an art form passed from master to apprentice—resulting in a rug that’s both culturally significant and meticulously finished. By choosing an authentic Afghan rug, you support artisan communities and bring a living heritage of craftsmanship into your home.
