Gooch Luxury Hand Knotted Afghan Elephant Rug, Red

The Red Afghan rugs, also known as Aqchae are made in the classic Afghan-style using two shades of red with a black or very dark blue pattern.

Hand knotted from 100% wool in the northern Afghanistan town of Aqchae, this design is known as "PheelPaa" or Elephants Foot and is one of the most famous Afghan, traditional rug designs.

In 1sqm of this rug there would be around 150000+ knots giving a mid-density pile that feels wonderful underfoot.

Crafted in Afghanistan, before being transported to Pakistan for washing and finishing. These are then shipped from Pakistan to the UK.

Worth Knowing: The exact design layout will differ depending on the size of rug you choose.

• When vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres
