Introducing our remarkable rug, originating from Afghanistan, specifically from the Afghani region. This rug embraces the exquisite Akstafa design, showcasing a captivating tribal style. With a cranberry background and a border adorned in rich blue, this rug radiates an aura of elegance.
Crafted with precision and care, this rug is made with the finest materials. The content consists of wool meticulously woven on a cotton base, resulting in a comfortable and durable piece.
Measuring at 4'0" by 6'1", this rug's size is perfect for enhancing any living space with its striking presence.
Now, let's delve into the fascinating origin of this rug. It is woven by skilled weavers, predominantly from the Esari Subtribe, known for their expertise in creating exceptional pieces. The wool used in this rug is sourced from sheep in the Ghazni Province of South East Afghanistan, renowned for producing high-quality wool due to its mountainous terrain.
The creation process begins with the raw Ghazni wool being transported to the western side of Afghanistan, near Herat. Here, the wool is carefully hand-crafted and spun into carpet yarn suitable for weaving. The weavers work on traditional floor looms in their homes, resulting in a cottage industry type production.
The rug features an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, contributing to its unique character. Its construction consists of a cotton warp and weft, with a wool pile. The double wefting technique and heavily packed depressed warp weaving ensure that this rug is exceptionally durable, promising longevity.
Embracing centuries-old traditions, this rug showcases all-natural dye stuffs. From the vibrant hues to the subtle shades, the colors tell a fascinating story. The captivating blue in this rug is derived from natural indigo dye stuffs. Indigo, extracted from the leaves of the indigo plant, has a rich history spanning thousands of years, with various cultures utilizing it to create beautiful blue shades.
Furthermore, the stunning red tones in this rug are the result of natural madder root dyes. Madder root, obtained from the Rubia tinctorum plant, has been cultivated and used as a dyeing agent for centuries, producing warm and cool red, orange, pink, and brown shades. This ancient dyeing technique adds to the allure and authenticity of the rug.
With a remarkable knots per square inch count of 104, this rug showcases the weavers' meticulous attention to detail. A calculation based on the KPSI reveals that this rug boasts an impressive total of 361,701 individually hand-tied knots.
In conclusion, this Afghani rug with its Akstafa design is a true masterpiece. From its origin and design to its construction and captivating colors, every aspect of this rug exudes elegance and quality. Its size and durability make it an excellent addition to any home or space, promising to be a cherished piece for years to come.
