This extraordinary 6'x9' masterpiece represents a historic intersection of high-end textile craft and cutting-edge contemporary fine art. Named "Nevertiti," this one-of-a-kind collector's piece features original, hand-painted artwork by the renowned artist Marwan Shahin of Shahin Studios. The canvas for this striking visual narrative is a premium, hand-knotted wool pile rug meticulously woven by master artisans in Afghanistan and curated by Ariana Rugs, a luxury pillar in the West Hollywood design community for over 35 years.
Measuring exactly 8'8" x 6'1", the structural foundation relies on a highly durable, tightly spun cotton warp and weft for excellent dimensional stability, while the hand-knotted pile consists of resilient, high-grade Afghan wool that possesses superior fiber integrity and natural luster. Marwan Shahin’s bold graphic application directly onto the hand-knotted texture creates an evocative, multidimensional tactile experience that bridges ancient weaving traditions with modern spatial art. Free from mass-produced power-loom processes, this museum-quality, collaborative art piece is designed specifically for visionary interior designers, architects, and art collectors seeking an unparalleled statement work for luxury residential, hospitality, or elite gallery environments.
