Afghani Rugs - New and Antique
Rugs from Afghanistan are instantly appealing due to their traditional colors and bold designs. Wool from this area is high-quality due to the elevation, and hence the thick sheep wool. Modern examples are distinguished by their rich warm dark red, which when combined with dark blue, brown and black used in the patterns, is quite unmistakable. Afghani rugs can be split into two kinds, the ‘old,’ woven by nomadic Turkomans, and the ‘new,’ woven in craft centres by Turkomans and Afghans.
This is a small sample of our Rug collection. Please call with questions or to inquire about additional pieces.
