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 characterised by their warm, dark red colours and distinctive Göl ornaments. The Göl patterns, which are octagonal, are also known as elephant feet because of their shape. These unique design elements give the carpets their distinctive, traditional style. At the same time, the craftsmanship and high-quality materials underline their special quality and durability, making them valuable and aesthetically impressive works of art.
