Afghan Khurjeen Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 299 x 80 cm
Afghan Khurjeen Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug - 299 x 80 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
A deep brown field gives this Afghan Khurjeen runner a calm foundation, but its details refuse to stand still. Turquoise, rust, ivory, red and soft blue botanical forms appear at measured intervals, accompanied by smaller blossoms and delicate branching motifs. Without a heavy enclosing border, the ornament seems to float across the subtly striated ground, creating an unusually open composition.
The Khurjeen name is connected with khorjin—decorative woven saddlebags in which practical form and textile artistry travelled together. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this elongated interpretation carries that expressive tradition into the home. Restrained from a distance and intricate when approached, it brings colour and handmade character to a hallway without visually crowding the space.

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 hand-knotted 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.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
