Kunduz - Hand Knotted Wool Rug

Dark red Afghan 149 x 190 cm

Kunduz rugs are handknotted in Kunduz and the surrounding villages of northern Afghanistan. The Kunduz rugs look similar to the Khal Mohammadi but are of better quality and a higher number of knots. The knotting is fine and neat, creating a very smooth and velvet-like pile. The color is often deep red, but other colors such as bright red, brown, copper and beige are also used. The designs are typically taken from old Turkamen designs where different Güls are used. Often the patterns are repeating themselves in all-over designs.
