KunduzHand KnottedRug

Black / Brown98 x 195 cm

Kunduz rugs originate from the northern region of Afghanistan, a historic hub for skilled weaving communities. These rugs are deeply rooted in the nomadic and semi-nomadic textile traditions of the region, where weaving has been a central cultural practice for generations.

Hand-knotted using traditional techniques, these rugs are celebrated for their dense structure and durability. The use of natural wool for the pile ensures a resilient surface that ages gracefully, retaining its rich colour and soft texture over decades of use.

The visual language of Kunduz rugs is defined by its deep, warm colour palette, dominated by rich dark reds, rusts, and contrasting beige accents. The central field typically features repeating diamond grids, intricate medallions, and geometric lattices, all framed by multiple decorative borders that showcase classic tribal motifs.

Owning a Kunduz rug is an appreciation of living history and regional craft. These pieces are highly valued by collectors and homeowners alike for their robust construction and the quiet sophistication they bring to contemporary and classic interiors.

This rug is hand-knotted by skilled artisans in Afghanistan, a process requiring immense patience and precision. Every single knot is placed individually by hand, reflecting a time-honoured technique passed down through generations.

Weighing 5.7 kg for its 195 x 98 cm size, the rug has a substantial and dense structure. This weight reflects the generous amount of high-quality wool packed into the pile, ensuring the rug lies flat and remains secure on your floor.

The creation of a hand-knotted piece of this scale represents weeks of dedicated human labour. This hand-weaving process ensures a level of structural integrity and character that modern machine production simply cannot replicate.
