Afghanistan Rugs

An Afghanistan rug is a type of Oriental carpet made primarily in Afghanistan. The terms Afghan rug and Oriental rug are very much related, Afghanistan kilim rugs are a type of traditional oriental rugs, which have all similar production methods and designs that stretch back to ancient Persia.

The most recent research on the history of Afghan rugs points to their origins in Central Asia, during the Timurid period (14th-15th century). Afghans began manufacturing these carpets after Turkic tribes from what is now Uzbekistan invaded their homeland eastward from modern-day Tajikistan, bringing with them several weaving techniques and woolen fabric.

Afghan rugs are among the finest rugs made in the world today. Each is exclusively designed and is a unique work of art with its individual color palette. The Afghanistan rug patterns are very beautiful; with mixes of dark red and dark blue colors, they feature geometrical designs that tend to be almost tribal designs.
