FAQs About Tribal Rugs

1. What are tribal rugs?

Tribal rugs are hand knotted or handwoven rugs made by nomadic or village tribes, often featuring bold geometric patterns, earthy colours, and symbolic motifs. They reflect the cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship of regions like Afghanistan, Iran, and the Caucasus.

2. Are tribal rugs handmade?

Yes, most tribal rugs are hand knotted or handwoven using techniques passed down through generations. These handmade tribal rugs are typically crafted from high-quality wool and dyed using natural pigments, making each piece truly unique.

3. What is the difference between tribal and Persian rugs?

While both styles are often handmade, Persian rugs usually have intricate floral designs and higher knot density, while tribal rugs feature bolder, more geometric patterns. Afghan tribal rugs, for example, have a more rustic, organic feel compared to the formal elegance of a Persian rug.

• Turkey and the Caucasus
  Each area has its own distinctive weaving style, patterns, and colour palettes.

5. Are tribal rugs made from natural materials?

Yes, most hand knotted tribal rugs are made from 100% wool, often with a cotton or wool foundation. The use of natural dyes adds to their eco-friendly appeal and rich, long-lasting colour.

Thanks to their hand knotted construction and high-quality wool, tribal rugs are extremely durable. They’re perfect for high-traffic areas and, with proper care, can last for decades.
