Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni hand-spun wool pile gives the surface a textured character that is especially appealing in this restrained colorway. Hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug combines carefully formed motifs with a stable structure. Wool’s natural resilience supports everyday use, providing comfort underfoot and durability with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Made in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece carries Ersari Turkmen design into a light, understated palette. The repeating gul motif remains central to its tribal identity, giving the composition a clear connection to its design tradition. Afghan hand-knotting brings that pattern to life in a textile whose appeal lies in the balance of decorative order and individual handwork.
