Afghan handmade rug,Chobi. Size:339x238 cm

Woven by hand in Afghanistan, this Chobi rug is the sort of piece that gets better with a bit of foot traffic. It's woven in the Chobi style — an open field, a restrained border, and a colour palette built to look decades old the day it's finished. It's knotted from 100% wool with natural dyes, which is why the tones sit slightly muted rather than looking printed or synthetic.

At 339 x 238 cm (11.1 x 7.8 ft), it's a solid anchor for a living or dining room — big enough that furniture can sit on it rather than around it. One rug, one weaver, months of work — which is also why no two pieces in this range are identical.
