Introducing our exquisite Afghan Heriz Tribal Rug, a remarkable piece that exudes elegance and captures the essence of Afghan craftsmanship. This rug hails from the beautiful country of Afghanistan, specifically known for its rich rug-weaving heritage.

Crafted by skilled ethnic Turkmen weavers, predominantly from the Esari subtribe, this rug showcases their expertise and dedication to their craft. The wool used in this rug is sourced from the Ghazni Province in Southeast Afghanistan, an area renowned for its mountainous terrain, which naturally yields longer staple, oily, and higher quality wool.

After the raw Ghazni wool is carefully brought to the western side of Afghanistan near Herat, it undergoes the meticulous process of hand carting and hand spinning into carpet yarn. The weaving of this rug takes place on traditional floor looms, often in the weavers' own homes or cottage industries, adding a touch of intimate craftsmanship to every thread.

Employing an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, this rug features a strong and durable construction. Its cotton warp and weft complement the all-natural wool pile, creating a harmonious blend of materials. The double wefted heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique ensures longevity and resilience, making this rug a wise investment for any space.

The Afghan Heriz Tribal Rug is adorned with a bone background, accentuating the striking blue border. The blue color, derived from natural indigo dye stuffs, emanates a sense of tranquility and sophistication. Natural indigo dyes, obtained from the leaves of the indigo plant (indigofera tinctoria), have a history dating back thousands of years and are revered for producing vibrant blue hues.

Measuring 2'6" x 19'4", this rug commands attention and adds a touch of grandeur to any room. With a knots per square inch (KPSI) of 80, we have meticulously calculated that this rug boasts a remarkable total of 550,064 individually hand-tied knots, a testament to the intricate craftsmanship involved.

Embrace the allure of Afghan artistry and grace your space with the Afghan Heriz Tribal Rug, a timeless masterpiece that intertwines history, culture, and beauty in the thread of its fibers. Experience the captivating charm of Afghan rugs and enhance your home with a touch of heavenly craftsmanship.
