Origin
This Mumlook is a handicraft made in the regions of Afghanistan where weaving traditions are highly developed, along with a tribal tradition and how it has been established centuries ago. It is inspired by the geometric designs of the Mamluk and Persian carpet, and it is a combination of both, giving it an effect of being a work of art that bears a story of cultural similarity and craftsmanship.
Materials
The rug is made up of handspun Ghazni wool and dyed in 100 percent natural botanical dyes, thus holding the qualities of richness and resilience. It has a vivid color story achieved via the use of ingredients that include walnut husk, madder root, and indigo leaf. It is comfortable to walk on, but at the same time, long-lasting, chemical-free (no synthetic chemicals), and biodegradable.
Design
This has a very dramatic centre star medallion with smaller left-right symmetrical medallions and is totally royal in colors over a turquoise ground. Movement is created using stylized rosettes, tiling of the borders, and flower tracery. The vivid blue is broken by beautiful warm crimson and saffron accents, which enhance the impressiveness of the piece and provide it with a deep tone.
Craftsmanship
This rug is an exhibition of the perfection of high knots, as shall be seen by the clearness of its back and the sharpness of its front. Masterfully complete with fringe ends and tight sewing along the selvedge, everything was done with the calm hand-knotting in mind. It is an art textile to collect because of its balance of delicacy and strength.
Heritage
This rug is a contemporary nod to traditional Mumlook style with symbolic storytelling to a greater degree. Stars are the guidance to get oneself oriented, rosettes are synonyms for succession and continuity, frames are the securities for safety. The motifs used to express status, faith, and cosmological beliefs were used in the past. They add meaning and splendor to any room today, having a legacy of meaning and the most perfect of executive aspects.
Heritage meets vibrancy in this radiant Mumlook rug—a timeless echo of design, color, and craftsmanship.
