The Mihman Collection announces itself immediately as something more than a rug.Peacocks gliding across an orange field, exotic birds perched in branches,figures flowing between the roots of a tree of life —these are not patterns; they are narratives laid on the floor.
Woven by skilled craftspeople at approximately 2,000 knots per 10 cm²over months of sustained labor,the Mihman Collection is the most visually distinctive series in the range —technically and aesthetically.
The Tree of Life and the Afghan Figurative Tradition
The Tree of Life composition is one of Afghan rug-making's most distinctiveand enduring design traditions.Rising branches are populated with peacocks, fish and fantastical creatures,each holding its own movement to create a continuous narrative across the surface.
Passed down through generations in Afghanistan,the Mihman Collection presents it in its finest contemporary form.The high knot density means every detail —the curve of a feather, the spread of a wing,the twist of a branch —is rendered with millimetric precision.
Why Knot Density Matters
Knot count is the most objective measure of quality in a hand-knotted rug.At 2,000 knots per 10 cm²,figurative designs achieve a sharpness that lower-density weaves simply cannot:a bird that would read as a smudge in a loosely woven rugbecomes a fully resolved form —wings balanced, feathers distinct.
The same density ensures the rug holds its shape and pattern for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Tree of Life Pattern in Afghan Rugs?
A composition in which birds, animals and fantastical figuresare placed among the branches of a rising tree,creating the feeling of a narrative unfolding across the floor.The tradition has been passed down through generations in Afghanistan;the Mihman Collection presents some of its finest surviving examples.
How Is Knot Density Measured in Hand-Knotted Rugs?
Knot density is expressed as the number of knots in a 10×10 cm area.In the Mihman Collection that figure is approximately 2,000.Higher density means sharper pattern definition and greater durability —both especially critical in figurative compositions.
How Does Mihman Differ from the Şahzade Collection?
Both are Afghan-made, 100% wool hand-knotted collections.Mihman stands apart through its higher knot densityand rare figurative designs, particularly the Tree of Life.Şahzade offers a wider range of contemporary ground colors:turquoise, grey, red, navy and orange.
How Should Mihman Collection Rugs Be Cleaned?
Light vacuuming or a damp cloth is sufficient for daily care.For deep cleaning, a professional hand-knotted rug specialist is recommended.Machine washing is not appropriate and may compromise the rug's structure.
