Origin
This rug is hand-woven in Northern Afghanistan by the Shaal artisans who embraced the rich tribal design combined with fine techniques of hand-made designs. The movement and rhythm offered by its geometric patterns and stripe chains in an image inspired by the nomadic stripe tradition are perfectly suited to satisfy collectors who like to see genuine features of their functional work of art.
Materials
This rug is woven of hand-spun and dyed with natural plants such as madder root, walnut husk, and indigo, so it has special resilience and natural shine, which belongs to Ghazni wool. The ecological method gives intense, permanent colours. Wool pile is tender and sturdy, which guarantees beauty and functionality for decades to come.
Design
The middle field has a check pattern of vertical bands of chevrons, hooked designs, and floral-like shapes of earth and jewel colors. A rich ruby ground fades to borders of geometric medallions in ochre, teal and ivory. This combination of form and improvisation forms a beautifully visual and richly cultural setting piece.
Craftsmanship
Details are done with an exquisite touch of detail and with the high knot count and sharp line work. The rug's testimony is its longevity due to the reinforced selvedges and the hand-knotted fringe. Its proportions are adapted to dining rooms, living rooms, or offices and introduce warmth and prestige to rooms without disturbing them.
Heritage
All the motifs are meaningful- chevrons, which mean protection and moving forward, and little flowers, which remind us about growth and abundance. Those designs are reminiscent of the tales of a millennium of weaving tradition among the Afghan tribal weavers. Possession of this rug is synonymous with conservation of that part of tradition so that its symbolic words do not die out in the modern world.
Chevron stripes and ruby borders—where heritage meets contemporary vibrance.
