Afghan Hand Knotted Rug

This is a one of a king hand knotted rug made by Nomades in Afghanistan. Crimson and hunter green stars frame a collage of tribal-inspired emblems set against a background of midnight blue and burgundy in this one-of-a-kind Afghan Rug. Traditional craftsmanship has turned this woven kaleidoscope of naturally-dyed wool into a work of art and will add a touch of global sophistication to your home. Taking inspiration from generations of culture and custom, the nomadic Afghan people create these striking rugs as a way to honor their ancestry. The individual color schemes and combination of symbols are reflective of personal experiences. Unlike commercially manufactured rugs that are free of imperfections, each Afghan Rug is hand-knotted and its eye- catching inconsistencies speak to the unique artistic process of each weaver making every rug imperfectly perfect. We find these rugs in small villages and cherish them like rare jewels. The respect we have for the artistic integrity of the rug, and the families that create them, is why we purchase each one for well above standard price. We are committed to helping these communities and bridging the gap between cultures. It is durable enough to stand up against heavy foot traffic and remain soft at the same time. It is important to rotate your wool rug to prevent excessive wear patterns and uneven sun exposure. We recommend placing a pad underneath to prevent wrinkles and slipping. Its understated style and rich colors make it a piece to be treasured for a lifetime.
