KunduzHand KnottedRug

Brown / Black200 x 292 cm

Kunduz rugs take their name from the Kunduz Province in northern Afghanistan, a region long recognized as a vital center for traditional Afghan carpet weaving. Situated along historical trading pathways, the city of Kunduz developed a distinct aesthetic that blends northern tribal influences with classic regional motifs.

The hand-knotted technique used in Kunduz rugs requires weavers to wrap individual yarn loops around warp threads, knotting each one securely before packing down the row. This traditional method allows for intricate pattern definition while giving the rug impressive strength and long-term structural stability.

Visually, Kunduz rugs are known for their warm color palettes and dense, balanced layouts. While rich reds and rust tones are widely associated with the region, golden yellow fields like this one offer a bright alternative, framed by traditional decorative borders and repeating geometric floral motifs.

Rugs from Kunduz remain highly regarded by collectors and homeowners for their authentic craft and cultural heritage. Bringing one into your home adds a functional work of art grounded in centuries of Afghan weaving knowledge.

Hand knotted by skilled weavers in Afghanistan, this piece represents months of focused craft. Every individual knot is tied by hand, resulting in a dense and structured build that holds up exceptionally well to years of family life.

Weighing 17.5 kg for its 292 x 200 cm size, the substantial weight reflects the amount of wool material used and the tightness of the weave. This solid construction gives the rug a grounded feeling on the floor.

The human effort behind hand-knotting ensures that each section receives careful attention, creating a durable floor covering crafted to be enjoyed across generations.
