Mumlook 5 x 3.3 Wool Rug – Classic Medallions in Indigo, Ochre & Crimson

Origin

An Afghan-made Mumlook rug is an interesting example of the fusion of Afghan, Persian, and Caucasian styles. The design has a classical symmetry and patriotic storytelling that comprises art and tradition. Its delicate craftwork is an extension of centuries-old tribal crafts passed down through generations.

Materials

This rug was all made using hand-spun Ghazni wool, dyed using botanical pigments, and is full of depth and strength. With no synthetic matter, its colours come out of pomegranate rind, indigo, madder root, and walnut husk. The outcome is a pliable, durable fabric, which will mature with age favorably.

Design

There is a central ground that contains octagonal medallions, which are layered and framed in rosettes and stylized border elements. There is a dramatic contrast to the crimson, saffron and cobalt used on a navy background. The other motifs are tessellated flowers and angular latticework, which help to cement the chaotic textures with rhythmic accuracy that surrounds.

Craftsmanship

The placement of each knot in this Mumlook rug is highly professional and makes the weave of it uniform and highly detailed. The back is as high up as the front--the earmark of high knot density. The rug is reinforced with fringing made by hand-braiding and has reinforced boundaries so that generations can use it.

Heritage

Mumlook is a tradition of acceptance of the symbolic language of making rugs: octagons denote cosmic harmony, and florals imply renewal. Ancestral meaning is held in each shape. Ideally placed in a ceremony or inherited setting, the rug acts not only to add a touch of decor but also as a poignant reminder of cultural history to any room.

A timeless expression of structure and symbolism—this Mumlook rug weaves color, craft, and culture into a single masterpiece.
