Introducing our exquisite Serapi Afghan rug, originating from Afghanistan and boasting a transitional design. This stunning piece features a sophisticated background in silver, complemented by a delightful periwinkle border. The main color of this rug gracefully presents various shades of grey, bringing a touch of elegance to any space.

Crafted with utmost care, this rug is made from pure wool sourced from the Ghazni Province of South East Afghanistan. Thanks to the region's mountainous terrain, the sheep produce longer staple, high-quality wool ideal for carpet weaving. The raw Ghazni wool is then transported to Herat, where it undergoes meticulous hand carting and spinning to create the exquisite yarn used in this rug.

Woven on traditional floor looms in the weavers' own homes, this rug showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Afghan artisans. Using the asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, the rug features a cotton warp and weft with an all-wool pile. The double-wefted and heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique employed in its creation ensures unparalleled durability, making this a remarkable addition to any collection.

Indulge in the rich history of natural dyes, as centuries-old dye stuffs were used to achieve the captivating colors of this rug. The result is a harmonious blend of hues that stand the test of time.

Drawing on the expertise of skilled weavers known for their higher knot count weaving, this rug was mostly woven in the Karam Kul district of Andkhoi. It boasts a knots per square inch measurement of 162, translating into an impressive total of 2,037,909 individually hand-tied knots.

Immerse yourself in the allure of this unique Serapi Afghan rug and experience the artistry and tradition that emanates from every fiber. Embrace the elegance, sophistication, and timeless beauty that this rug brings to your living space.
