Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni hand-spun wool pile lends the surface tactile richness, with subtle variations in the yarn adding character to the weave. Each knot is tied by hand on a cotton foundation at a density of 82 knots per square inch. The cotton provides structural stability, while naturally resilient wool offers comfort underfoot and durability for everyday use with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug pairs Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship with a Gabbeh design centered on recognizable natural forms. Fish become the decorative language of the piece, giving it an informal, storytelling quality. It is an expressive interpretation of traditional rug making, well suited to a home where individual pieces are chosen for their character.
