Size: 0.46m x 0.42m (1'6 x 1'4) £120.00
The loribaft collection has been hand woven in Afghanistan by the nomadic Uzbek and Turkmen tribe. The designs used are mainly inspired by the Persian Loribaft Gabbeh Designs.

It is then hand knotted onto a cotton warp and transported over to Pakistan where it is washed and trimmed by skilled weavers, no two rugs are ever the same. The remarkable work of these skilled weavers really does reflect in these rugs. This rug would be a perfect addition to any home.

A handsome Malayer rug made circa 1920s, it is hand spun in hand made wool with various subtle abrash (change of colour) running through particularly the indigo main field, there is slight wear in the main field and both the ends and the side cords have had some repair work done to them. It's recently been professionally cleaned. You will notice on one the left-hand side of the rug in one of the borders there is a slight hiccup where the weaver has tried to draw the design back in again as she's been making the rug and there's a step in in the border which is quite a nice feature to prove that it's a handmade rug. This rug is a very good looking, handsome, traditional village production rug that is worthy of a good home.

Kashan Rug c. 1900
Size: 2.13m x 1.37m (7'0 x 4'6) £2,900.00
c. 1900
Kashan is a city in the North of central West Asia and is famous for weaving some of the best quality carpets being produced. They are exceptionally hard wearing and highly decorative. These elegant rugs are constructed on a cotton foundation with a woollen pile, sometimes having accents of silk or woven entirely with silk.
Kashan rugs have been crafted since the 16th and 17th century, during the Safavid dynasty, with many scholars believing that some of the smaller silk designs date back to the early 16th century. Taking inspiration from the architects and artists of the period.
Many Kashan’s are distinctive with their traditional floral designs with deep reds and blues in the centre panel and border. They can also have only small accents of red and a main ground of mostly ivory and navy, making them similar to a Nain but woven in the city of Kashan. Depending on their size and colour they can work very well in both a bedroom as well as a hallway or living room for example.

Antique Fereghan Rug c. 1900
Size: 2.04m x 1.39m (6'8 x 4'7) £2,400.00
Antique Fereghan Rug is situated in mountainous country within an important weaving area in North West West Asia. The carpets taking the name of Heriz are woven in the villages within a 30 mile radius of the town by the same name. Many different qualities and variations on a similar design are produced. The typical Heriz carpet has a strictly rectilinear medallion design that has changed little over many decades; older rugs have madder grounds and medallions mostly of indigo, today these colours are still evident but with some additions of light blue, medium green, terracotta and warm yellows. Heriz carpets have a foundation of cotton warps and wefts, a thick and long pile of excellent wool, thus producing hard-wearing durable carpets.
Construction. Cotton warp, wool pile and cotton weft.
This carpet has a beautiful if slightly quirky design. The strong bold central medallion typical of Heriz carpets is slightly off centre emphasising the joy of hand made carpets. The colours are superb with all the rich colours typical of Heriz carpets. Full of character.

Afghan Kelim Runner
Size: 3.94m x 0.83m (12'11 x 2'9) £375.00
This vibrant Kazak has been hand woven by Afghan tribal people in Pakistan. It is based on the traditional Caucasian designs and woven with good quality wool yarns, using natural vegetable dyes. It has a cotton foundation and could work very well under a dining table, in a living room or an open plan kitchen for a pop of colour. Each of our handmade rugs are unique pieces and this new Kazak is a fine example of what is being woven by Afghan tribes today.
Originally Kazaks would have been woven with strands of silver and gold to symbolise status. They were placed in churches, palaces and within homes of high class. Not only are rugs used as a floor covering but also hung as pieces of artwork. This is why some rugs still survive to this day and are over a hundred years old. This particular Kazak is brand new and if looked after well, could also last over a hundred years.
