Ghandum Naqsha Surkh 6’1’’ X 9’1’’

A grand tribal rug featuring the traditional Ghandum Naqsha Surkh pattern—wheat-inspired geometry in crimson and artisan heritage in a statement scale.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans trained in traditional tribal weaving techniques, this 6'1" × 9'1" piece reflects the disciplined geometry and warm palette characteristic of Central Asian rug-making. The Ghandum Naqsha Surkh (red wheat pattern)—with its repeating geometric motifs inspired by agricultural abundance—requires exceptional technical skill and pattern memory. Woven on a vertical loom with meticulous attention to motif clarity and color distribution, each knot contributes to a surface of remarkable density and visual depth.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural vegetable dyes, the rug features a warm palette dominated by surkh (crimson red) accented by wheat gold, charcoal, and cream—arranged in rhythmic geometric bands. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior fiber length, softness, and ability to hold vibrant dyes—creates dense pile construction with exceptional tactile richness. The fine knotting ensures crisp motif definition, while the wool's natural resilience ensures decades of use and graceful aging.

Design & Aesthetic
Traditional Ghandum Naqsha motifs create visual warmth across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The generous 6'1" × 9'1" scale (approximately 55 square feet) makes this piece ideal for anchoring living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms seeking warmth without visual weight. The crimson palette adds depth and visual interest to neutral interiors, pairing beautifully with natural materials—linen, oak, stone, and plaster.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 6'1" × 9'1". Suitable for high-traffic areas; the dense Ghazni wool construction ensures longevity. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
