Handmade Afghan Rug Silk Pile & Cotton Weft Size: 190 cm x 125 cm

This exquisite hand-knotted silk rug is expertly crafted in Afghanistan using pure fine silk with a durable cotton weft and fringe. Featuring an intricate weave of 144 knots per square inch, the rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship, precision, and detail.

With a total area of 3,675 square inches, this masterpiece contains approximately 529,200 individual knots. Given the complexity of the pattern and the number of colors used, a skilled artisan can weave around 800 knots per day, meaning the weaving process alone requires an estimated 661 hours of dedicated handwork.

Beyond weaving, additional time is invested in dyeing the silk, preparing the loom, and designing the intricate pattern, making each rug a true work of art and a testament to traditional Afghan rug-making heritage.

Perfect for luxury interiors, collectors, and those seeking authentic handmade silk rugs, this one-of-a-kind piece combines timeless elegance, fine materials, and extraordinary artisan skill.
