Quality
Every knot of “Azure Blossom” is tied from lustrous Ghazni wool, prized for its natural lanolin sheen and durability. The 92 KPSI density delivers both a supple handle and a finely rendered pattern — qualities collectors expect in a heritage-worthy Persian rug. The cotton warp and weft create a stable skeleton, ensuring the round silhouette lies flat and true for decades.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Woven in the foothills of Ghazni, this piece carries forward a weaving tradition that has flourished along the Silk Road for centuries. Local artisans spin their own wool, dye it with time-honoured recipes, then hand-knot each thread using techniques passed from master to apprentice. The result is a rug that marries Afghan authenticity with the grand Persian design canon — a living testament to the region’s artistic dialogue.
