Introducing our exquisite Afghani rug, a true masterpiece of tribal design. This rug features the distinct Bakshaish Willow design, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the Afghan weavers. The background of this rug is a rich brick color, perfectly complemented by a navy border, adding depth and elegance to the overall design.

Made with the highest quality materials, this rug is crafted using wool on a cotton foundation, ensuring durability and longevity. The wool used in this rug is sourced from the Ghazni Province of Southeast Afghanistan, where the mountainous terrain yields oily and long-staple wool, ideal for carpet weaving. The raw Ghazni wool is then transported to Herat, where it is meticulously hand-carded and spun into carpet yarn, ready to be transformed into a beautiful rug.

Woven on traditional floor looms in the comfort of their own homes, these rugs are the result of a cottage industry type production carried out by ethnic Turkmen weavers, primarily from the Esari Subtribe. The weaving technique used is the asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, ensuring the utmost precision and fine detail in the design.

This rug boasts all-natural dye stuffs that have been used for centuries. The captivating red color is derived from the madder plant's roots, scientifically known as Rubia tinctorum. The madder root dyes produce a range of warm and cool red, orange, pink, and brown shades, adding a captivating and timeless allure to this rug.

With a knots per square inch (KPSI) of 80, our meticulous calculations reveal that this rug boasts an astounding 589,274 individually hand-tied knots. Such a high knot count attests to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that has gone into creating this masterpiece.

Discover the beauty and allure of this Afghani rug, a true treasure steeped in history and skill. Ideal for those seeking to add a touch of tribal charm to their living space, this rug is a testament to the rich weaving traditions and artistry of Afghanistan.
