A warm rust ground is divided into a grid of garden compartments — each a miniature garden of flowering plants, diamond medallions, botehs and cypress trees in gold, teal, cream and navy — gathered around a central navy star medallion in this hand-knotted Ghazni. A red border of blossoming cypress trees, flanked by navy floral guard stripes, frames the panelled field, in the classic Bakhtiari ‘khesti’ garden design.
Hand-knotted in the Ghazni highlands of Afghanistan from soft, hand-spun wool, the pile is dense and hard-wearing, with a gentle sheen. Coloured with natural dyes and worked entirely by hand, the tones glow with soft abrash and every compartment is drawn slightly differently — the honest mark of a genuine one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece.
