About the Item

Sophia is a subtle design created in collaboration with Turquoise Mountain, which was founded in 2006 by His Majesty King Charles III in order to protect and revive Afghanistan’s historic craft, artisan traditions and skills which date back thousands of years. Intricately hand-knotted in Afghanistan in a 45/55 Persian knot quality, using fine, long-fibre Ghazni wool, natural vegetable and mineral dyes, and a variety of regional weaving techniques, lending a unique character to Afghan made rugs.

Mughal No. 01 Rug by Knots Rugs, Hand-Knotted Silk & Wool, Limited Edition
By Knots Rugs
Located in London, GB
The Mughal No. 01 by Knots Rugs is a rare and exquisite reinterpretation of 17th-century Mughal artistry, blending Persian and Indian influences into a museum-quality statement piece. Hand-knotted in Jaipur, India, using the finest oxidized silk and wool, this limited-edition rug captures the grandeur of Mughal court textiles, where art and craftsmanship flourished under royal patronage. Drawing inspiration from Mughal-era Persian-Indian designs, this rug features an intricate floral composition and refined symmetry, reminiscent of historic prayer rugs and palace tapestries. Traditionally, Mughal carpets are celebrated for their scenic landscapes and delicate animal motifs, embodying a harmonious fusion of nature and ornamentation. The innovative oxidization process in this rug enhances the contrast between wool and silk, creating a sculptural relief effect and an aged patina that mimics the luxurious timeworn beauty of antique pieces. The interplay of softened neutrals, delicate greens, and warm floral tones against the luminous silk highlights brings a sense of depth and movement, bridging the past with contemporary sophistication. Taking over six months to weave, this masterfully crafted Mughal rug...
