Afghan Khan Mohammadi Rug

Afghan Khan Mohamadi Rugs are handknotted rugs made in northern Afghanistan, in and around Kunduz.  Afghan Khan Mohamadi Rugs are named after a gentleman man who developed this style of Afghan Rug. Afghan Khan Mohamadi Rugs are typically made by Ersari Turkoman weavers in northern Afghanistan.

Typically Khan Mohamadi Rugs have an all-over repeating design, although occasionally medallion style formats can be found.

The main background colour is usually a brown-red/coppery shade with secondary tones of blue-black. The pile consists of wool, which is often rather velvety to the touch, this wool pile is hand-knotted onto wool (sometimes) cotton warp threads.
