Fine Hand-knotted Wool Turkmen Rug 292cm x 475cm

Khal Mohammadi rugs are a type of handmade rug originating from Afghanistan. They are named after the Khal Mohammadi tribe, which is known for its weaving traditions and expertise in rug making. These rugs are characterized by their distinctive design and color palette. They often feature bold geometric patterns, including octagons, diamonds, and squares, which are created using traditional weaving techniques. The motifs are usually inspired by tribal symbols and cultural elements, showcasing the rich heritage of the Afghan people.

One of the key features of Khal Mohammadi rugs is their deep, warm colors. They predominantly use rich red tones, such as deep burgundy or dark crimson, which are achieved by using natural dyes made from plants and minerals. The background color of the rug is usually a rich, dark shade, providing a striking contrast to the vibrant patterns.

Khal Mohammadi rugs are hand-knotted using high-quality wool sourced from local sheep, resulting in a durable and long-lasting rug. The use of hand-knotting techniques ensures intricate details and fine craftsmanship, creating a unique and authentic piece of art.
