Tribal Khamseh c.1980 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. The rug is made from Ghazni wool, which has been hand spun and naturally dyed using vegetable dyes such as walnut, pomegranate, root plants and saffron. 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.
The modern production of Kazak rugs and carpets is woven by Afghan weavers. These rugs and carpets are based on traditional Caucasian designs and woven with good quality wool yarns, much of which has been dyed using natural vegetable dyes thus adding to their vibrant and dramatic appearance.
