One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece

No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character

This Afghan Karghai rug carries the presence of a woven story, not just a decorative pattern. A deep red field anchors the design, with a bold central medallion acting as the visual heart of the piece. Around it, stylised animal forms, angular floral details and repeating tribal motifs create movement across the surface, giving the rug a sense of rhythm, strength and handmade character. The cream border frames the composition like artwork, while gold, black, blue and earthy accent tones add richness through the pattern. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this large Karghai rug reflects the time, control and weaving skill needed to balance detailed storytelling, strong colour and lasting textile craftsmanship.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
  • For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and handmade structure of the rug.

Note

  • Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
  • Each hand-knotted rug is coloured using 100% vegetable dyes, giving the fibres natural depth, gentle tonal movement and the individual character of handmade weaving.
  • Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
