Origin & Tradition
This rug was hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, a region known for its tribal weaving heritage and distinctive interpretations of Turkmen-inspired designs. The Gul motif is one of the most recognized symbols in Central Asian and Afghan rug weaving, often arranged in orderly rows to create harmony and movement. In this piece, the coral-red palette softens the traditional tribal structure, giving the rug a rare balance of authenticity, warmth, and understated luxury.
