We have used a wonderful Mushwani Rug to cover this large footstool. The Afghan Mushwani rugs are unique textiles which are characterised by their intricate geometric patterns and dark colours. These rugs are a blend of both flatweave kelim and hand knotted techniques which create a wonderful contrast in pile heights. They are made from wool using natural vegetable dyes which result in rich tones of deep reds, dark blues and browns. Mushwani rugs make great floor coverings but also serve as symbols of cultural heritage which reflect the craftsmanship of the Mushwani tribes.
