Origin
This rug is handwoven in Northern Afghanistan by Shekari artisans and reinterprets the Persian tradition of the Tree of Life but with a radiant ivory field. A representation of strength and peacefulness, in its individual elements, they are taken straight out of centuries-old patterns but given a new touch of elegance as they incorporate cultural understanding with finely crafted elements of modern art.
Materials
Hand-spun 100 percent pure Ghazni wool used in weaving provides this rug with the natural glow complemented by botanical dyes comprised of pomegranate rind, madder root, walnut husk, and indigo. Such non-toxic pigments guarantee permanent and fade-resistant colours. Thick, plush pile creates not only softness but also strength, characteristic of Shekari, who is dedicated to the principle of chemical-free, sustainable, and biodegradable production.
Design
A vast ivory plain is turned into a tranquil garden of living creatures in which willow trees grow crimson, saffron, and sky-blue flowers, and graceful peacocks, cranes, pheasants, and doves enjoy free range. With its airy design and complex details, both welcoming and generating continuous visual exploration, the rug has both open and densely textured aspects to it.
Craftsmanship
This hand-knotted rug features a superior density of knots to add a crisp detail and balance of negative space. Fringes and hand-bound edges make the forms permanent. Regardless of whether it is put in a fancy salon or framed and presented on a wall, its artistry puts it a notch higher on a floor covering than a collectible heirloom textile.
Heritage
The Tree of Life has been a symbol of plenty, nature, spiritual wholeness, and so on. Every bird symbolizes something in this Shekari rug, including the grace that the peacock has and the long life that the crane enjoys. It is not mere decoration, but a poetic rug immaculately created with the heritage and purpose.
An ivory dreamscape where nature’s harmony is handwoven into Shekari mastery.
