This stunning, high-quality tribal rug is a remarkable example of Afghan weaving tradition, featuring the Mauri Gul design—one of the most revered and enduring patterns in the world of handwoven textiles. Rich in both color and cultural heritage, this large-format rug is a true masterpiece, created by the nomadic Turkoman tribes of Afghanistan whose craftsmanship has been passed down through generations.
The Mauri Gul motif, characterized by its bold, repeating octagonal “Gul” symbols, represents strength, unity, and tribal identity. This design is one of the oldest and most iconic in Afghan rug-making history, widely admired for its symmetry, symbolism, and enduring beauty.
Handwoven in northern Afghanistan, this rug originates from a region renowned for its textile artistry and bustling rug trade. Positioned just south of the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, the area is a cultural crossroads where Turkoman and Afghan traditions converge, producing some of the most sought-after rugs in the region.
Crafted from 100% natural wool, the rug features a dense, soft pile that offers both comfort and durability. The wool is dyed using natural plant-based and mineral dyes, which give the rug its rich, earthy tones—deep crimsons, warm terracottas, and soft neutrals that will age beautifully over time.
This piece is more than just a floor covering; it is a living testament to nomadic heritage and artisanal excellence. Whether used in a traditional or modern setting, the Mauri Gul rug brings warmth, character, and a story that spans centuries.
