8'x10' Hand-Knotted Afghan Rug | Samarkand | Earth Tones

A Timeless Afghan Rug for the Refined Space

Organic Wool, Soulful Craftsmanship, and Earth-Toned Elegance – Direct from Afghanistan

Description:

Bring cultural depth and artisanal elegance into your space with this hand-knotted masterpiece from Ariana Rugs' Samarkand Collection. Created by Hazara women weavers in Afghanistan, this rug is more than décor—it’s a celebration of resilience, tradition, and refined design sensibility.

Hand-knotted from organic, hand-spun wool and anchored on a natural cotton foundation, each piece takes months to craft and generations of skill to perfect. The geometric pomegranate motif—an enduring symbol of abundance and beauty—spreads across a calming palette of soft blue, cream, and earthy browns, ideal for grounding contemporary, transitional, or rustic interiors.
