Khal Mohammadi Rugs occupy a distinctive place among Afghan weaving traditions, recognised for their expertly balanced palettes of rich, naturally dyed reds. Produced predominantly in the regions surrounding Mazar-i-Sharif, these rugs are the result of skilful hand-knotting techniques applied to select Afghan wool. The characteristically lush surface and durable feel stem from the use of hand-spun fibres, which also lend subtle texture and depth to each piece.

A defining feature of a Khal Mohammadi wool rug is its intricate geometric gul patterns, a motif rooted in the broader Turkmen aesthetic but adapted with individual flair by regional artisans. These motifs, often complemented by precise borders and repeating medallions, bring a structured yet organic quality to the design. The careful application of deep red vegetable dyes provides a visually striking but never overpowering backdrop, supporting both decorative appeal and practical use.

Within this collection, you will find a range of sizes and formats, from substantial hand-knotted Khal Mohammadi carpets suited to living rooms to the versatile Khal Mohammadi runner, ideal for narrower passages or hallways. Their timeless patterns and restrained colourways offer flexibility for UK homes, working well across both classic and contemporary interiors. Each rug demonstrates a high standard of Mazar-i-Sharif craftsmanship, making them a natural choice for those who value authenticity and enduring design.
