Hazara Weavers Central Afghanistan
·
Symmetrical or Turkish knot
The Aamu line takes its name from the
Amu Derya river, forming the border line between Afghanistan and Central
Asia. These carpets are woven by Hazara weavers. Like other Hazara carpets
the Amu line rugs are finely woven with a symmetrical (Turkish) knot and a
supple handle. (Click on Hazara for general information on rugs woven by the
Hazara people). The difference between the Amu line and our other rugs woven
by Hazara weavers is that the Amu rugs are slightly finer in weave and the
rugs from the Amu line are primarily larger rugs with 19th
Century Persian decorative designs. They are available in room sizes
from 6’ 0" x 8’ 0" to 10’ 0" x 14’ 0".
