Afghan Rugs
Afghan rugs are a type of traditional handmade rug that is woven using age-old techniques and high-quality materials. These rugs are known for their bold designs, vibrant colors, and exceptional durability.
Afghan rugs typically feature bold geometric designs, floral motifs, and intricate medallions, often rendered in bright colors such as red, blue, green, and gold. The wool used in Afghan rugs is of high quality, with a high lanolin content that gives the rugs a luxurious feel and a natural resistance to staining and wear.
One of the distinguishing features of Afghan rugs is their use of a technique known as the double knot, which is a variation of the Persian knot that produces a denser, sturdier carpet. This makes Afghan rugs particularly well-suited for high-traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways.
Afghan rugs are typically hand knotted using natural dyes, which gives them a rich, vibrant color that will not fade over time. The knot density of Afghan rugs can vary depending on the design and the skill of the weaver but is typically in the range of 60 to 100 knots per square inch.
Afghan rugs are highly prized by collectors and are considered to be some of the finest handmade rugs in the world. They are valued for their exceptional craftsmanship, intricate designs, and durability, and they can be quite expensive depending on their age, condition, and design.
