This Afghan wool carpet has a relatively high proportion of beige shades. Rather unusual for Afghan carpets, Afghan Samargand carpets also have slightly lighter and more vivid colours. Thus they sometimes remind of Caucasian oriental carpets. This beautiful Afghan Samargand will bring a vibrant ambience to your home.


Afghan rug

Afghanistan has a rich history in the craft of rug-making. A large part of the country consists of mountains. The most famous Afghan rugs come from the north. These include hand-knotted Kahl Mohammadi and Afghan Akhche rugs. Afghan oriental rugs are usually recognized by their warm dark red colors and the so-called gol ornaments. These are octagonal patterns, which are also called elephant feet because of their shape.

Handspun wool

This rug is made of hand spun sheep wool of the highest quality. Especially in Iran (former Persia), Afghanistan and Pakistan wool is still spun by hand before the actual knotting of the rug begins. Wool has proven itself as a natural and extremely hard-wearing material over centuries. Among other things, it has dirt-repellent and heat-insulating properties. At the same time, wool is incomparably soft and has a natural shine.

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.

Care & Fair

Following our ethical principles, we at Nain Trading are declared supporters of the organization CARE & FAIR. The goal is joint action by carpet dealers worldwide to give children from carpet weaver families in India and Pakistan the foundation for socially protected growing up. This improves the situation for the whole family in the long term. A child-friendly childhood for a life worth living - that is the mission.
