Handmade Afghan Chobi Rug

Material: Hand-spun wool on a cotton base
Origin: Northern Afghanistan
Construction: Handwoven
Condition: Brand new

Chobi rugs first emerged in Northern Afghanistan during the 1990s as a more refined expression of the region’s long-established weaving traditions. This Afghan Chobi rug takes its name from the Farsi word chob, meaning wood, which reflects the soft, timber-toned colour palette these rugs are known for. Each piece is woven entirely by hand, with skill passed down through generations of Afghan artisans.

This rug has been woven with a tightly packed knot structure, giving it a fine, durable finish and allowing for greater detail in the design. The wool is hand-spun using traditional methods and selected for its quality, softness, and natural strength. It holds onto its lanolin, which gives the rug a silky sheen and that smooth, velvety feel underfoot.

The low pile catches the light gently, giving the rug a soft glow and a sense of quiet movement as you walk past it. It’s a handmade Afghan rug that brings warmth, texture, and character to any space. Understated, elegant, and made to last for generations.
