Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni hand-spun wool pile brings tactile richness to the surface, with subtle yarn variations complementing the earthy color. Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug combines carefully worked details with a stable structure. Wool’s natural resilience offers comfort underfoot and durability for regular use with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece brings Afghan hand-knotting craftsmanship to a pictorial garden design. Its appeal is in the translation of familiar natural forms into wool: a landscape expressed through small, individually worked motifs. The simplicity of the drawing gives the rug an intimate charm, suited to interiors where craftsmanship and individual character matter.
