Questions regarding this carpet?

Afghan rug

Afghanistan has a rich history in the craft of rug-making. A large part of the country consists of mountains. The most famous Afghan rugs come from the north. These include hand-knotted Kahl Mohammadi and Afghan Akhche rugs. Afghan oriental rugs are usually recognized by their warm dark red colors and the so-called gol ornaments. These are octagonal patterns, which are also called elephant feet because of their shape.

Natural wool

Wool is a natural material that brings important positive properties to everyday life. It is extremely hard-wearing and can easily withstand daily stress. With proper care, it can also live for many decades without showing signs of aging. Natural wool is also dirt-repellent with its own fat content, which protects it from dirt and moisture. Wool is suited for underfloor heating systems. It regulates to a certain degree the humidity in the room and insulates sound and heat.

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
