Afghan Kazak

£3,950£4,950In stock, ready to ship

A spectacular, truly grand Afghan Kazak carpet — hand-knotted by skilled artisans in the weaving heartlands of Afghanistan. Renowned the world over for their fearless colour, bold geometric design, and legendary durability, Kazak rugs stand among the most admired and sought-after tribal carpets — and this is a magnificent example on a truly generous scale. Woven from thick, rich hand-spun wool, chosen for its deep natural colour, resilient pile, and wonderful soft-yet-sturdy feel — with a strong cotton foundation for lasting stability and strength. This is a carpet built to withstand heavy daily use while growing richer and more beautiful with age — a genuine heirloom in the making. A blazing crimson field commands attention, filled with a powerful arrangement of large, glowing medallions — each one outlined in ivory, deep blue, and gold — creating a striking rhythm and balance across the carpet. Delicate tribal flowers, star motifs, and branching sprigs fill the space between, softening the bold geometry with graceful detail. The wide, multi-layered border frames the field in classic Kazak style — rich bands of deep blue, cream, and red carrying repeating tribal emblems that echo the ancient traditions of the weavers. At 477 cm × 358 cm, this is an exceptionally large and impressive carpet — designed to be the undisputed centrepiece of a spacious living room, grand dining hall, library, or substantial reception area. Its warm, vivid tones bring instant life, energy, and warmth to any interior, sitting equally beautifully alongside classic, rustic, or modern furnishings. Woven entirely by hand over many months — knot by knot — this carpet carries within it the skill, patience, and cultural heritage of its makers. Bold, generous, and endlessly striking, it is more than a floor covering — it is a statement of timeless beauty.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 120 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,176,254 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 15 months.

How that is worked out: 188 in × 141 in × 120 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,176,254 — that is 477 × 358 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
