Hand-Knotted Afghan Taimori Rug

This Taimori piece sits in a quiet, cool palette, a soft slate blue-grey field carries an all-over fine floral ground, with rows of ivory ogee-shaped medallions and sunburst rosettes marching down the field in careful vertical and diagonal alignment. Each medallion is filled with its own delicate floral centerpiece, while smaller rounded rosettes fill the gaps between rows, giving the whole field real structure without ever feeling crowded. A matching slate blue-grey border, patterned with its own dot and floral repeat, frames the piece and continues the same restrained tonal palette right to the edge.

Keeping that many medallions consistently sized and precisely aligned in both directions across a rug this size takes real discipline at the loom. Every ogee medallion and rosette in this rug was hand-knotted through Kelim Shop's own production based in Afghanistan, with our weavers holding the grid steady while keeping the fine floral ground legible underneath.

Because the palette stays so cool and restrained, this rug reads as calm and orderly, a structured medallion grid that still feels quiet enough to work as a versatile neutral.

A few specifics:
