Afghan Shirvan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 243 x 165 cm
Afghan Shirvan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 243 x 165 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
This Afghan Shirvan hand-knotted wool rug reads like a woven work of art. Across its warm beige field, jewel-like geometric motifs form an intricate mosaic of rust red, navy, teal and muted brown, creating a pattern that rewards a closer look. A deep navy border frames the composition with the clarity of a finished canvas, while the wool pile gives the design a tactile depth that shifts subtly with the light. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan and inspired by the traditional Shirvan carpets of the Caucasus, this distinctive rug brings together disciplined geometry, rich colour balance and the unmistakable character of handmade weaving.

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.
