Origin & Craftsmanship
Woven in the historic weaving hub of Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug carries forward centuries-old artisan knowledge. Local weavers employ indigenous wool, hand-spun for irregular texture and depth, then hand-knot each geometric form—an exacting process that can take months. The result is an authentic Gabbeh rug whose every detail tells a story of Afghan heritage, sustainable materials, and meticulous craftsmanship.
