Quality & Craftsmanship
The Ghazni handspun wool brings a tactile richness to the pile, with subtle variations in the yarn lending character to its surface. Hand-knotted at 56 knots per square inch, this decorative-quality rug emphasizes texture and the broader beauty of its pattern. A wool foundation contributes flexibility, while the pile’s natural resilience supports everyday enjoyment with proper care.
Origin & Tradition
Crafted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug unites Afghan hand-knotting skill with an Oushak-inspired floral design. Its stylized blossoms translate botanical shapes into geometric ornament, giving the traditional composition a structured appeal. Built patiently, knot by knot, the finished piece brings the care of artisan workmanship into a thoughtfully furnished home.
