Afghan Turkaman Weave Carpet in Gabbeh Design Origin: Mazar-Sharif, Afghanistan Date: Custom Made in 2018 Size: 372 x 275 cm

This custom-made Afghan Turkaman weave carpet, crafted in 2018 in Mazar-Sharif, Afghanistan, blends traditional craftsmanship with innovative design. Measuring 372 x 275 cm, this large carpet is not only functional but also a striking piece of art.

The design of this carpet is inspired by the architectural shape of ancient pigeon towers found traditionally in Persia, reflecting a unique blend of cultural heritage and contemporary aesthetic. This motif is expressed through a Gabbeh design, known for its abstract and simplistic style, which captures the essence of these iconic structures in a bold and minimalist way.

Constructed from handspun wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes, the carpet is exceptionally durable and made to withstand the rigors of daily use without compromising on its visual appeal. The use of these natural materials not only enhances the carpet’s robustness but also ensures that it retains the rich, earthy tones characteristic of traditional Turkaman carpets.

Ideal for both modern and traditional settings, this carpet is a testament to the skill of Afghan weavers and their ability to infuse classical inspirations into durable, everyday textiles. It is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of historical significance and artisanal craftsmanship to their living space.
