{"product_id":"zeenat-sareki-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","title":"Zeenat Sareki One-OF-A-Kind-Afghan Rug","description":"\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA near-monochromatic Mazar-e-Sharif Sareki carpet of deep crimson — the gul repeat resolving into the field with the quiet authority of a tradition utterly sure of itself.\u003cbr\u003eThe gul has been the central motif of Turkmen weaving for almost a thousand years. It is the tribal medallion — the octagonal form that identifies a clan, marks a lineage, asserts a presence — and it has travelled with the Turkmen from Central Asia into Afghanistan without losing its essential character. In this carpet, the gul-repeat is rendered in a near-monochromatic palette: deep crimson medallions on a slightly darker crimson ground, the distinction in tone rather than colour, the cream fringe at head and foot the only relief. It is a composition of considerable restraint and formal confidence — a carpet that does not need contrast to hold a room. Knotted in wool on a cotton foundation by Turkmen craftspeople in Mazar-e-Sharif at approximately 110 knots per square inch.\u003cbr\u003eA hand-knotted rug is an investment piece. With proper care it will last a lifetime and become a cherished heirloom. Each knot in this collection is tied by hand by nomadic tribesmen, making every piece entirely one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003eVariations in colour and tone — known as abrash — are a hallmark of authentic handmade rugs, particularly tribal and vintage pieces. Wear and age only add to their beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ikkadukka-store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43640177852482,"sku":"IDX-HS-B025279","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/B025279.jpg?v=1776152845","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/zeenat-sareki-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
