Rugs where the colour comes from the wool itself 🐏

These are our undyed Afghan Pashm rugs, hand-knotted in Shindand, Herat Province from 100% hand-spun Ghazni wool. The warm browns, deep chocolates and raw creams you see are the natural colour of the fleece, not a dye in sight. Long shaggy pile, bold tribal geometry, and a softness that surprises everyone who stands on one for the first time.

Long before written language, humans painted meaning onto cave walls. Persian weavers did the same thing on their rugs.

Every motif in this vintage Persian Ardabil runner was placed with intention. Running through the centre of the field is the Tree of Life, its roots reaching down into the earth, its branches climbing toward the heavens, connecting the two worlds. Birds rest in the branches, deer move through the field, and flowering vines fill the spaces in between 🌷

The rounded motifs reaching outward are known as the Mother Goddess, an ancient symbol of fertility, strength and nourishment. She has been woven into textiles across this region for centuries.

This runner is a vintage piece, hand-knotted in northwest Iran. You can shop this one as part of our Rare Runners collection.

Both of these rugs have the same origin but they have a completely different look and feel underfoot.

The Chobi on top is known for its high knot count and low, tight pile. Up close you can see exactly how much precision goes into every square centimetre, the pattern is sharp, the surface is dense and the detail is unmistakable.

Beneath it is a newly woven Afghan rug using traditional weaving techniques. Thick, chunky pile, incredibly soft underfoot, with vibrant colours and a pattern that has a little more breathing room. A fresh interpretation of a craft that has not changed in centuries.

Both hand-knotted in Afghanistan, both made from hand-spun wool, just with completely different results 🤍

More Pattern. More Texture. More Colour.

This is why tribal rugs are unlike anything else.

That edge is not wool. It is goat hair, placed there with intention. In the days when weavers lived a nomadic life in tents, rugs like this were laid at the entry. If a snake came near, the coarse goat hair would stop it in its tracks. Snakes do not like the texture, so they turn around and leave 🐍

A weaver had a need and the rug became the solution. Genius, right?

This is not your usual Shiraz rug.

The nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers of Iran's Fars Province are known for bold geometric medallions and diamond lattice patterns. This piece takes a different direction…

This vintage piece (Circa 1960–1980) features a pictorial composition at the centre, an architectural arch flanked by stylised trees, animals, and botanical forms, with guardian figures standing watch at the top and bottom.

Hand-knotted from hand-spun wool pile on a wool foundation. Warm terracotta red, deep teal, camel. The pile has settled and the colours have mellowed with age.

Some patterns fade. The Oushak keeps getting reinterpreted 🌸

The Oushak weaving tradition began in the small Turkish town of Uşak in the 15th century, known from the very beginning for its soft, muted palette and large-scale botanical designs.

What makes the style distinctive is its restraint. The pattern is given room to breathe across the field, nothing crowded, nothing competing. That considered use of space is exactly why the style has stayed relevant for over 500 years and why it continues to find its place in contemporary interiors today.

Afghan weavers adopted the tradition and made it their own, tightening the knot structure and deepening the palette.
