{"product_id":"blue-afghan-traditional-rug-9-3-x-12-0-hand-knotted-no-at40623","title":"Blue Afghan Oriental Rug 9' 3\" x 12' 0\" Hand-Knotted | No. AT40623","description":"\u003cp\u003eWool this dense and tightly knotted has a satisfying weight underfoot that synthetic blends simply cannot replicate. The field carries a deep blue ground laid out in bold geometric patterns, with angular medallions and interlocking borders that give the design a structured, traditional character. The blue palette is consistent rather than flat, with tonal shifts across the surface that come naturally from hand dyeing and hand knotting rather than mechanical repetition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in Afghanistan from Ghazni wool, this rug draws on a weaving tradition that prioritizes density and durability above all else. Ghazni wool comes from sheep raised at high altitude, producing a fiber that is lanolin-rich, resilient underfoot, and resistant to crushing over years of daily use. The geometric patterning reflects the broader Afghan tribal tradition, where bold angular forms have been passed down through weaving communities for generations. Hand knotting at this level of craft takes months to complete and results in a rug built to outlast most furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt nine by twelve feet, this rug fits a large living room, dining room, or primary bedroom with ease, leaving enough floor showing around the perimeter to frame the space well. It suits traditional, transitional, and even spare modern interiors where a strong geometric ground pattern reads as a focal point.
