{"product_id":"afghan-balkh-rug-335-x-245-cm-1012-x-80","title":"Afghan Balkh Rug","description":"Balkh rugs carry the same origins as the Afghan Chobi tradition — born in Northern Afghanistan, hand-knotted by artisans whose craft has been passed down through generations. What sets this rug apart is the knot count. With approximately 2,500 knots per five centimetres, this is the highest quality available in Afghan Chobi weaving.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThat density shows in the surface. The design is more precise, the finish smoother, and the pile finer than a standard Chobi. The wool is hand-spun and hand-selected in Afghanistan, chosen specifically for the fineness required to achieve this level of weave. It retains its natural lanolin, giving the pile a silky feel underfoot and a sheen that only becomes more pronounced over time. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, \"Noto Sans\", sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Noto Color Emoji\"; font-size: 0.875rem;'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, \"Noto Sans\", sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\", \"Noto Color Emoji\"; font-size: 0.875rem;'\u003eThis is as refined as Afghan Chobi weaving gets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Najaf Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47644603777280,"sku":"NR-0084","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/1805\/7216\/files\/50-335x245.jpg?v=1774236467","url":"https:\/\/www.najaf.com.au\/products\/afghan-balkh-rug-335-x-245-cm-1012-x-80","provider":"Najaf Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
