Introducing our captivating Afgani rug, with its exquisite design inspired by the Agra style. This transitional masterpiece boasts a background in a sophisticated taupe tone, complemented by an aqua border that adds a touch of elegance to the overall aesthetic. Crafted using all-natural materials, this rug features a wool pile on a sturdy cotton foundation, ensuring both comfort and longevity.

Originating from an area renowned for its skilled weavers, predominantly from the Esari Subtribe, this rug utilizes wool sourced from the Ghazni Province in Southeast Afghanistan. The mountainous terrain of this region naturally produces longer staple wool, resulting in a higher quality material ideal for carpet weaving. The raw wool is then transported to Herat, where it undergoes meticulous hand carting and spinning, transforming it into the perfect yarn for our rug.

To bring this rug to life, it is skillfully woven on traditional floor looms by the talented artisans of Afghanistan. Using an asymmetrical "Persian" knot technique and a cotton warp and weft, each knot is meticulously hand-tied to create a durable and long-lasting masterpiece. This double-wefted weaving method, combined with heavily packed depressed warp weaving, ensures the utmost durability, making it suitable for high-traffic areas.

Adding to its charm, this rug features centuries-old all-natural dye stuffs, providing vibrant and rich colors that will continue to captivate for years to come. The exceptional craftsmanship is further highlighted by the impressive knot count of 162 knots per square inch (KPSI). Based on this calculation, our rug boasts a grand total of 1,061,281 individually hand-tied knots, a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that goes into its creation.

Measuring 5'10" x 7'10", this distinctive rug is sure to make a statement in any room. It exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, making it a perfect addition to both traditional and modern interiors alike. Elevate your space with this Afghani gem, a true testament to the artistry and skill of Afghan rug weavers.
