Quality
Woven at approximately 82 KPSI (knots per square inch), the rug balances refined linework with everyday durability. Long-staple Ghazni wool—naturally rich in lanolin—yields a supple, resilient pile that resists crushing and develops a graceful patina over time. The structure is stabilized by a cotton warp and weft, while careful hand-shearing creates a smooth, even surface that reads as tailored luxury underfoot.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece continues a storied weaving lineage where tribal geometry and purposeful color are passed down through generations. Each knot honors that tradition—an heirloom made slowly, with intention—bringing authentic Afghan craftsmanship and timeless Heriz character into your home.
