Handwoven Guldar Naqsha 5’4’’ X 8’1’’

A tribal rug featuring the traditional Guldar Naqsha pattern—floral geometry and artisan heritage in a generous scale.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans trained in traditional tribal weaving techniques, this 5'4" × 8'1" piece reflects the disciplined geometry and refined palette characteristic of Central Asian rug-making. The Guldar Naqsha (floral pattern)—with its repeating floral motifs and balanced composition—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 sophisticated palette of traditional tribal colors—ruby, navy, ivory, and terracotta—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 essential to floral pattern aesthetics, while the wool's natural resilience ensures decades of use.

Design & Aesthetic
Traditional Guldar Naqsha motifs—repeating floral patterns—create visual rhythm across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The generous 5'4" × 8'1" scale (approximately 43 square feet) makes this piece ideal for anchoring living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms. Works beautifully with gallery-like interiors—plaster walls, natural wood, and minimal furnishings—where the rug can command attention as a centerpiece.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 5'4" × 8'1". Suitable for high-traffic areas; the dense Ghazni wool construction ensures longevity. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
