This Khal Mohammadi is a sample for high quality of Afghan Carpets. With its deep red nuances, it convinces everyone. This carpet was knotted in the north of Afghanistan with finest wool.


Afghan rug

Afghanistan has a rich history in the craft of rug-making. A large part of the country consists of mountains. The most famous Afghan rugs come from the north. These include hand-knotted Kahl Mohammadi and Afghan Akhche rugs. Afghan oriental rugs are usually recognized by their warm dark red colors and the so-called gol ornaments. These are octagonal patterns, which are also called elephant feet because of their shape.

Wool with pure silk

A combination of the probably best properties of sheep wool and pure silk. The natural wool is characterized by high durability, dirt-repellent properties and thermal insulation. At the same time, the silk content creates a unique shine that appears to glow from the right perspective. Ornaments made of silk thus set accents in the design, creating a real wow-effect. Even today, silk is an expression of pure luxury. It is elaborately obtained by hand and woven into textile fibres.

(92% Sheep wool, 8% Silk)

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
