He formulated a unique tone of deep red from madder root which differed to the dep red of \u003cem\u003eAqcha \u003c\/em\u003erugs, having a slight copper tone. Finding \u003cem\u003eKhal Muhammadi\u003c\/em\u003e rugs with this original dye is extremely rare, as most rugs have the standard deep red dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKhal Muhammadi\u003c\/em\u003e rugs take some inspiration from other rug designs, for example the border geometric design of \u003cem\u003eAqcha \u003c\/em\u003erugs, and octagonal motifs from \u003cem\u003eErsari \u003c\/em\u003erugs. However, over time these rugs have acquired a characteristic design of their own, with fine detailed floral patterns, although different variations can also be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rugs use the symmetrical Turkish (\u003cem\u003eGhiordes\u003c\/em\u003e) knot and have a glossy lustre due to the fine wool used and dense pile. They have a medium-high knot count and are regarded as fine quality rugs. It is a cultural practice for families in Afghanistan to place \u003cem\u003eKhal Muhammadi\u003c\/em\u003e rugs in their guest room as they are provide a warm welcome with the deep red, while the intricate floral motifs makes it stand out without being too distracting or busy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57219459514750,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9350\/1054\/files\/IMG_7466_77f4d13d-5c4b-408a-b29f-6741af4218a9.jpg?v=1775599202","url":"https:\/\/www.khorasanrugs.co.uk\/products\/afghan-khal-muhammadi-door-mat-copy","provider":"Khorasan Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
