Quality
Woven at approximately 82 knots per square inch, this rug balances refined detail with everyday durability. The Ghazni hand-spun wool—prized for its long staple and natural resilience—yields a supple, comfortable pile that wears beautifully over time. A cotton foundation stabilizes the structure to keep edges true and the field lying flat, ensuring this piece remains an heirloom-grade textile under real-life use.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Maymana, this rug carries forward the Afghan Gabbeh tradition—minimalist geometry enriched with symbolic storytelling. The tree of life evokes growth and continuity; peacocks and birds suggest grace, harmony, and good fortune. Each knot is set by a master weaver, preserving a heritage passed down through generations and resulting in a rug that is as culturally meaningful as it is visually compelling.
