Zainab
Masterpiece, unique, authentic, collectible, rare carpet.
A carpet from the town of Imam-Sahib, located on the border of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
A traditional handmade carpet, produced in extremely limited quantities, with exceptionally high-quality standards, crafted using time-consuming and costly techniques that are no longer practiced.

Moreover, this particular carpet collection represents a meticulous selection of only those pieces that were created under continuous supervision and strict control — from the shearing of the animal to the final finishing of the carpet. This ensures the absolute quality of the wool (or silk), the careful weaving of the carpet, and the attention to detail in its processing, all contributing to the creation of a genuine handmade carpet with no compromises in quality for the sake of cost reduction.

The artisans involved in the lengthy creation process of this collection are among the very few capable ones, selected exclusively for their exceptional talent in carpet making. These are high-cost carpets, yet true works of art.

The dense and time-consuming weaving, along with the hand-spun yarn, was done by traditional old nomads — true artists in their craft — resulting in a literally perfect carpet born of their deep experience.

All treatments applied to the carpet have been made exclusively using plant-based materials — herbs, roots, fruits, botanicals — and only with the help of nature’s elements.
It is a fact that such a process, as opposed to chemical treatments, costs significantly more both in terms of material value and the time required for the overall processing and finishing.

Every treatment on the carpet is entirely natural.
