Introducing our tribal Harshang rug from Afghanistan! This stunning piece showcases the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of the Afghan weavers.
Originating from the mountainous Ghazni Province in Southeast Afghanistan, this rug is made using wool sourced from local sheep, known for their long-staple and high-quality wool. The wool is then hand carted and spun in the Herat region, where it is transformed into carpet yarn ready for weaving.
Woven on traditional floor looms in the weavers' homes, this rug features an asymmetrical "Persian" knot type, ensuring its durability and longevity. The pile is made of wool, while the warp and weft are cotton, providing a sturdy foundation. The double-wefted and heavily packed depressed warp weaving technique enhances the carpet's durability, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
This rug follows the traditional Harshang design, with a silver background and a stylish blue border. The striking combination of colors adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. The rug measures 11'10" X 14'4", offering ample coverage for larger rooms.
Using centuries-old techniques, the weavers employ all-natural dye stuffs to achieve the rug's exquisite colors. Extracted from the indigo plant, the blue color in this rug comes from natural indigo dye, renowned for its vibrant and long-lasting hues.
With 80 knots per square inch, this rug showcases the meticulous attention to detail by the skilled craftspeople. In total, it features an impressive 1,930,277 individually hand-tied knots.
