The geometric pattern moves across the surface in orderly rows of angular medallions and border guards, the contrast subtle enough to hold the eye without competing with the room around it. At nearly eighteen by twenty-four feet, the scale is commanding, but the pale palette keeps it from feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in Afghanistan from Ghazni wool, this hand-knotted rug draws on a tradition that Afghan weavers have maintained across generations. Ghazni wool comes from sheep raised at high altitude, producing a fiber that is naturally lanolin-rich, dense and resistant to wear in a way that factory-spun wool cannot match. The hand-knotting means each section of pattern was set knot by knot, which is why the pile holds its structure and character over decades of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rug this size works best anchoring a large open-plan living space, a formal dining room with a full table and chairs, or a grand entrance hall.
