Quality & Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted with a Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug combines the character of naturally textured wool with the structural stability needed for a substantial room-size carpet. Its approximately 82 knots per square inch allow the floral details to remain well defined while maintaining the substantial feel associated with traditional hand-knotted rugs. Ghazni wool is valued for its resilience and natural texture, making this piece well suited to living rooms, dining rooms, and other frequently used spaces where beauty and durability are equally important.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, this rug reflects the region’s long-standing tradition of wool weaving and the Afghan practice of interpreting historic carpet designs through local craftsmanship. Bidjar designs are known for strong compositions and enduring decorative appeal; here, that heritage is softened through a simpler tribal floral vocabulary and a distinctive green-and-navy palette. The result is an individual piece that carries traditional influence while feeling equally at home in classic, eclectic, or thoughtfully layered contemporary interiors.
