Moshwani rugs are handwoven tribal rugs crafted by the Moshwani people, a subgroup of the Baloch ethnic group in western Afghanistan. These rugs are known for their unique weaving techniques, striking geometric designs, and a mix of pile and flat-weave (kilim) elements, making them distinct from other Afghan rugs.


Key Features of Moshwani Rugs:

Material & Weaving Style

  • Made from high-quality hand-spun wool
  • Unique combination of pile weave (knotted wool) and flat-weave (kilim) sections, creating a textured, multi-dimensional surface.
  • Often woven using the Turkoman or asymmetrical knot, ensuring durability.
  • Rich, earthy tones dominate Moshwani rugs, including:
  • The colors are achieved using natural vegetable dyes, giving them a warm, organic look.

Design & Patterns

  • Bold geometric motifs
    • Diamond or lozenge shapes
    • Intricate borders with repeating patterns
  • The blend of pile and kilim weaving creates a textured, slightly raised effect, adding depth to the design.
  • Their durability makes them ideal for high-traffic areas like entrances and hallways.
