The Art and Tradition Behind Afghan Rugs
Afghanistan has a long-standing tradition of rug-making, with some designs dating back centuries. These rugs are handcrafted using high-quality wool, natural dyes, and intricate knotting techniques, ensuring durability and authenticity. Each pattern is unique, reflecting tribal influences, cultural symbols, and artistic expression that make Afghan rugs stand out in the global market.
The weaving process is labor-intensive and requires immense skill. Women artisans, often working from their homes or community workshops, meticulously weave each knot by hand. This dedication to craftsmanship results in rugs that are not only visually stunning but also built to last for generations.
