Two of the most famous carpets from Afghanistan are Khan Mohammadi and Afghan Aqcha. Afghan Khan Mohammadi is a variant of Khal Mohammadi's name, who designed and uniquely coloured these rugs. He was an Ersari Turkman who created new ideas while living in Afghanistan. These rugs and carpets are handmade by the Turkmans in villages around Kunduz in northern Afghanistan. 

The rich red of these rugs is created from boiling the madder plant's root, which grows wild in that part of the world. They are finely knotted from wool of the Karakul sheep, which graze the mountainous terrain. The colour and design make them very practical. Some recurring motifs are guls (elephant 's-foot patterns) and octagonal, often curvilinear flowers in dark blue, ochre, and beige. We have an extensive collection of handmade Afghan Khal Mohammadi rugs and carpets for sale in various sizes, available online and in-store.
