Quality
Hand-knotted with Ghazni handspun wool over a strong cotton foundation, this rug combines natural texture with the durability required for everyday living. Ghazni wool is valued for its resilience and rich character, while handspinning gives the pile subtle variations that add depth to the surface. With approximately 82 knots per square inch, the weave provides a balanced combination of durability, definition, and the slightly relaxed character associated with fine handmade Sultan Abadi rugs.
Origin & Tradition
This rug was woven in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, a region closely connected to Afghanistan’s long tradition of hand-knotted carpet making. Its Sultan Abadi design draws inspiration from the historic carpets of Sultanabad, known for spacious floral patterns, graceful proportions, and decorative motifs that feel equally at home in traditional and contemporary interiors. Reinterpreted by Afghan weavers in handspun wool, the design carries the individuality of true artisan craftsmanship, giving this rug a character that cannot be reproduced by machine.
