KunduzHand KnottedRug

Dark red / BlackRunner90 x 200 cm

Kunduz rugs come from northern Afghanistan, a region long recognized for producing durable, finely knotted textiles. The weaving traditions of Kunduz are deeply tied to tribal heritage, where motifs and color palettes were preserved and shared across generations.

The name Kunduz indicates both the city center and the surrounding weaving districts where local artisans turn locally spun materials into distinctive rugs. Over time, Kunduz runners have become sought after across the globe for their sturdy build and grounded aesthetic.

Signature design elements of Kunduz textiles include deep red backgrounds, repeating geometric medallions, and detailed borders. The use of natural earth tones and contrasting light shades gives these pieces their clear, graphic layout.

Owning a hand-knotted Kunduz rug connects your home to a living Central Asian craft legacy. Collectors and homeowners value these pieces for their authenticity, enduring construction, and timeless cultural character.

Hand-knotted by experienced weavers in Afghanistan, this runner represents weeks of attentive manual labor. Every individual knot is tied by hand using traditional tools and methods passed down through families.

At 200 x 90 cm and weighing 5.4 kg, the rug carries a substantial, dense build that comes only from packing yarns tightly together during the knotting process. This density gives the pattern its crisp edges and ensures long-term resistance to wear.

The combination of a sturdy cotton foundation and a hand-tied wool pile creates a stable textile structure. The time invested in knotting each row creates a runner built to handle daily footsteps while preserving its shape.
