Afghan handmade rug,Chobi. Size: 196x146 cm

Every Chobi rug in this line starts on a loom in Afghanistan, where a weaver ties each knot by hand. The pattern is a Chobi-pattern piece, named for the muted, sun-faded palette the style deliberately imitates using vegetable dye rather than fading over decades. The wool is undyed or naturally dyed where possible, so the colours are warm rather than flat, and the pile is dense enough to handle a busy household.

Sized 196 x 146 cm (6.4 x 4.8 ft), it's roomy enough to define a seating area without swallowing the rest of the floor. As with any hand-knotted rug, expect small irregularities in the weave — that's the process working as intended, not a flaw. This one's on sale right now — SR 4,200 down to SR 3,148.
