Quality
The rug is woven with Ghazni handspun wool, valued for its natural texture, resilience, and ability to develop a beautiful character over time. Because the wool is spun by hand, the fibers retain subtle variations that give the surface greater depth than machine-processed wool.
A durable cotton foundation provides structural stability, while the approximately 82 knots per square inch allow the floral motifs to remain clear and well defined. The combination of strong materials and traditional hand-knotting makes this rug suitable for regular use while preserving the refined appearance expected of a fine handmade carpet.
Origin & Tradition
This Sultan Abadi rug was hand-knotted in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, an important rug-weaving region known for its skilled artisans and longstanding textile traditions. Sultan Abadi designs are admired for their spacious floral compositions, balanced proportions, and decorative character, making them particularly well suited to both traditional and sophisticated contemporary interiors.
Every rug is created knot by knot, giving each piece its own subtle variations in texture, pattern, and color. These small distinctions are part of the beauty of traditional weaving and make this green Sultan Abadi rug a unique piece rather than a mass-produced floor covering.
