Quality
Ghazni wool is prized for its long staple, natural sheen, and impressive resilience—qualities you feel underfoot and see in the way this rug wears beautifully over time. At 82 knots per square inch, the weave strikes a refined balance: intricate enough to define geometry with precision, dense enough for everyday durability. The cotton foundation adds structural stability, keeping the rug flat and true across seasons and settings.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, this piece draws from the Baluch weaving tradition—minimalist geometry, purposeful symmetry, and a palette born from the region’s landscape and dyeing heritage.
