Afghan handmade rug,Chobi. Size: 278x203 cm

This Chobi rug was hand-knotted in Afghanistan, the kind of piece that takes months rather than days to finish. It's a Chobi-pattern piece, named for the muted, sun-faded palette the style deliberately imitates using vegetable dye rather than fading over decades. It's knotted from 100% wool with natural dyes, which is why the tones sit slightly muted rather than looking printed or synthetic.

This one comes in at 278 x 203 cm (9.1 x 6.7 ft), a size that works well as the main rug under a sofa or dining table. As with any hand-knotted rug, expect small irregularities in the weave — that's the process working as intended, not a flaw.
