Quality
Woven with a Ghazni handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug offers the strength, texture, and natural character expected from fine Afghan craftsmanship. Ghazni wool is valued for its durability, soft handle, and rich surface variation, giving the rug a beautiful handmade presence. With a knot count of approximately 82 knots per square inch, the pattern has strong definition while maintaining the sturdy structure needed for everyday use.
Origin & Tradition
This rug was hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, a region known for its skilled weaving heritage and distinctive approach to traditional rug making. The Mamluk design draws from one of the most admired geometric rug traditions, recognized for its symmetry, medallion work, and timeless sense of order. In this piece, that historic influence is softened through a muted Afghan color palette, creating a rug that feels both traditional and exceptionally suitable for today’s interiors.
