Handwoven Mauri Gul Shireen Taghab Tribal Rug 3’2’’ X 5’0’’

A tribal rug featuring the traditional Mauri Gul Shireen Taghab pattern—floral geometry and artisan heritage in a versatile scale.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans trained in traditional tribal weaving techniques, this 3'2" × 5'0" piece reflects the disciplined geometry and vibrant palette characteristic of Central Asian rug-making. The Mauri Gul Shireen Taghab pattern—with its repeating floral medallions (gul) and balanced composition—requires exceptional technical skill and pattern memory. Woven on a vertical loom with careful attention to motif clarity and color distribution, each knot contributes to a surface of remarkable density and visual clarity.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural vegetable dyes, the rug features a rich palette of traditional tribal colors—deep crimson, charcoal, ivory, and rust—arranged in rhythmic geometric bands. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior softness, resilience, and natural lanolin content—creates dense pile construction with exceptional tactile depth. The fine knotting ensures crisp motif definition, while the wool's inherent luster enhances the intricate pattern work.

Design & Aesthetic
Traditional Mauri Gul motifs—repeating floral medallions—create visual rhythm across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The 3'2" × 5'0" scale (approximately 16 square feet) makes this piece ideal for entryways, beneath coffee tables, anchoring seating areas, or as a layering element in larger rooms. The rich crimson palette adds warmth and visual interest to neutral interiors.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 3'2" × 5'0". Suitable for high-traffic areas; the dense Ghazni wool construction ensures longevity. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
