FAQs

Afghan rugs from the Herat region have a long tradition of hand-knotting by skilled weavers using local wool. Mosque or prayer rug designs incorporate architectural features representing the mihrab arch, minarets, and sacred geometric structures within traditional tribal weaving conventions.

Traditional Afghan rugs are hand-knotted using wool pile tied onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. Dyes are historically derived from natural plant and mineral sources, producing saturated hues of navy blue, deep red, aubergine, and ochre.

Authentic hand-knotted rugs exhibit slight variations in knot tension, pattern geometry, and colour shades known as abrash. Examining the reverse side reveals individual knots clearly mirrored from the front surface, alongside natural fringe extensions from the warp threads.

A small-format Afghan rug functions well as a focal accent on timber flooring in an entryway, study, or living room alcove. Alternatively, these textiles are frequently mounted or hung on walls to showcase their intricate architectural patterns as textile artwork.

Preserve wool rugs by vacuuming regularly using suction only, avoiding rotating beater bars that loosen fibres. Address spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth, use a non-slip rug pad underneath to prevent friction wear, and seek specialist professional cleaning when required.
