About Aamu |
The Aamu takes its name from the Amu Derya river which forms the
border between Afghanistan and Central Asia. These carpets are woven
by Hazara weavers and like other Hazara carpets are finely woven with
a symmetrical (Turkish) knot and a supple handle. These rugs are woven
on cotton foundations. The superior strength of the cotton foundation
thread allows the knots to be tightly packed resulting in a more intricate
and defined design. Aamu rugs are most often made in 19th Century
Persian decorative designs.
