Mauri 300 x 200

Afghanistan has a long tradition of carpet weaving, especially in the north of the country. Among the best known and finest carpets from this region are the hand-knotted Mamluk, Kahl Mohammadi and Mauri carpets. These Afghan oriental carpets are known for their warm, dark red colours and characteristic Göl ornaments. The Göl patterns, which are octagonal and also known as elephant feet due to their shape, give the carpets their distinctive and traditional style. The high level of craftsmanship and the use of first-class materials underline the special quality and durability of these carpets. They are not only stylish works of art, but also an expression of a deeply rooted tradition in carpet weaving.
