Introducing our exquisite Afghan rug, the epitome of elegance and craftsmanship. Originating from Afghanistan, specifically from the talented Ethnic Turkmen Weavers, this rug showcases the artistry of the Esari Subtribe. The design, known as "Bakshaish Willow," features a transitional style that seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary elements.

The rug boasts a silver background that provides a stunning backdrop for the intricate patterns and motifs. The border, in a rich rust hue, beautifully frames the central design, adding a touch of warmth and depth. The main color palette of the rug revolves around various shades of grey, creating a sense of harmony and sophistication.

Crafted with the finest materials, this rug is made of wool on cotton, ensuring both durability and comfort. The wool used in this masterpiece is sourced from sheep in the Ghazni Province of Southeast Afghanistan. The mountainous terrain of this region naturally yields longer staple oily wool of exceptional quality, perfect for carpet weaving. The raw Ghazni wool is then transported to Herat, where it is hand carted and spun into carpet yarn.

The weaving process takes place on traditional floor looms, within the homes of the talented weavers. The asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, combined with a cotton warp and weft, results in a tightly woven and highly durable rug. The double wefted and heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique ensures the longevity of this handwoven masterpiece.

What truly sets this rug apart is its century-old all-natural dye stuffs, employed by the skilled craftsmen. The colors used in this magnificent creation are derived from nature, further enhancing its authenticity and allure.

With a size of 5'3" x 8'1", our rug fits perfectly into any space, adding a touch of sophistication and charm. Its knots per square inch (KPSI) measure 80, reflecting the intricacy of the design and the painstaking effort put into its creation. We estimate that there are a staggering 482,965 individually hand-tied knots in this remarkable rug.
