Introducing the exquisite rug from Afghanistan, featuring a Tabriz design, this traditional masterpiece is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of ethnic Turkmen weavers, predominantly from the Esari Subtribe. The rug is handwoven using all-natural Ghazni wool sourced from sheep in the mountainous Ghazni Province of South East Afghanistan, known for its longer staple oily higher quality wool, ideal for carpet weaving.

This stunning rug is woven on traditional floor looms in the weavers' own homes, representing a cottage industry type production. With an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, the cotton warp and weft lay the foundation for the meticulously hand-spun wool pile, ensuring a durable and long-lasting rug.

Adorned with a royal blue background, complemented by a beige border, this rug showcases the epitome of elegance. The vibrant blue color in this rug is derived from natural indigo dye stuffs, specifically from the leaves of the indigo plant. Indigo, an ancient dye dating back thousands of years, has been widely used in various cultures, resulting in its iconic and vibrant blue hues.

Measuring at 1'11" x 5'1", this rug features a knots per square inch count of 80, indicating the intricate level of detail. In fact, we precisely calculated that this rug boasts an impressive 110,883 individually hand-tied knots in total.
