Akhche (Akcha)

An Afghan hand-knotted rug woven from 100% natural wool. Its field is typically a deep red ground scattered with octagonal gul motifs and wavy floral details in dark blue and beige — a design lineage rooted in Turkmen weaving tradition.

Azari

A geometric rug style suited to modern interiors, built on repeating patterns in blue, beige, and brown wool. The tight repetition of shapes gives Azari rugs a graphic, architectural feel that reads especially well in contemporary spaces.

Bakhtiari

Woven by the Bakhtiari tribe of Iran, these Persian rugs are known for oversized garden and panel layouts, vivid color combinations, and a scale that makes them a genuine centerpiece rather than a background piece.

Balisht

A small hand-knotted Baluchi rug, often no larger than a floor cushion. Bold dark red and blue combinations paired with repeating geometric motifs give Balisht rugs an outsized presence despite their compact size.

Baluch

Woven by nomadic tribes across Afghanistan, Baluch rugs come in small to medium sizes with a palette of red, brown, dark blue, and beige. Fine, closely packed wool and confident geometric patterning are the hallmarks of this style.

Barjasta

Woven by the Taimani people across Afghanistan and Iran, Barjasta rugs combine dense knotted pile with flat-woven sections in one piece, fine wool, bold symbolic patterns, and deep reds, blues, and browns in bold geometric layouts.

Bidjar

Known in the trade as the “iron rug” for good reason — Bidjar's dense Turkish-knot construction makes it one of the most durable rug styles available. Expect a red-and-blue palette with soft beige accents.

Bokhara

Produced across Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey, Bokhara rugs are recognized worldwide for their repeating oval gul motifs, bold color pairings, and floral detailing — a design so iconic it's traded internationally under its own name.

Chobi

An Afghan rug tradition built as a reworking of antique Oushak and Ziegler designs, hand-spun and colored in the tradition of natural, vegetable-based dyes. The result is a softer, more muted palette — aged gold, ivory, and faded rust — achieved through the weaving and finishing process itself.

Dhurrie

A flat-woven rug with no pile and no knots, traditionally made from cotton or a wool-cotton blend on a horizontal loom. Lightweight and fully reversible, dhurries suit casual, high-traffic spaces where a thick knotted pile isn't the goal.

Suzani / Embroidery Kilim

A hand-embroidered Afghan kilim built from a variety of needle stitches rather than knots or flat-weaving alone. The result is a richly textured surface best suited to bedrooms and other low-traffic rooms.

Ersari

Warm and welcoming, Ersari rugs favor deep red, brown, and yellow tones. Their patterning tends toward the cheerful and decorative side of tribal design, wool throughout.

Fereghan (Feraghan)

A Persian rug tradition from the Fereghan plain near Arak, recognized by a repeating herati (fish) pattern set on a deep indigo or ivory field. A finer weave and more formal patterning make Fereghan a classic fit for traditional interiors.

Gabbeh

A traditional Persian style woven as a long, coarse pile rather than tightly clipped — giving Gabbeh rugs a soft, textural feel. Abstract, almost minimalist motifs in saturated colors set them apart from more formally patterned Persian rugs.

Heriz

Woven in the Heris region, Heriz rugs are prized for durability that comes from the quality of the wool itself. Bold coloring and confident, large-scale patterns make Heriz a strong choice for hallways and living rooms that see daily use.

Isfahan

Made with soft kurk wool and an unusually tight weave, Isfahan rugs are considered among the finest Persian rugs produced — the combination of material, density, and pattern places them firmly in the luxury tier.

Joshagan

Constructed with a wool pile on a cotton foundation using the asymmetrical Persian knot, Joshagan rugs are built for longevity as much as looks.

Kashan

Structured around a diamond medallion set within a Shah Abbas field, Kashan rugs favor red, brown, green, and blue. The combination of classical layout and rich color has kept this style popular for generations.

Kazak

Hand-spun wool worked on upright looms by weavers in northern Afghanistan produces the bold geometric patterning Kazak rugs are known for — a style that reads as confidently graphic on any floor.

Kerman

Woven in the city of Kerman, these rugs pair repeating geometric patterning with a cooler palette of blue, beige, gray, and red.

Khal Mohammadi

Built from 100% pure wool, Khal Mohammadi rugs are valued for their sturdiness as much as their design — a genuinely long-lasting rug with striking, well-defined patterning.

Kilim Dhurrie

A flat-woven rug style with deep roots in South Asian floor coverings, available in a wide span of colors, patterns, and sizes rather than one fixed look.

Kilim Maimana

Woven entirely in wool using a tapestry-weave technique, Maimana kilims are built around rhythmic, repeating geometric patterns in richly saturated color.

Maliki

Definition pending supplier confirmation

An Afghan kilim style that blends traditional motifs with a more contemporary color sensibility, available in a range of patterns and qualities.

Mashwani

Originating from Afghanistan, Mashwani rugs combine knotted pile with flat-woven kilim sections in a single piece - bold reds, blues, and browns worked into fine geometric patterning, with the flat-woven sections typically forming the borders or background.

Nakhunak

Nakhunak rugs combine knotted pile with flat-woven kilim sections in one piece, built around smaller, repeated patterns like medallions and stylized floral shapes. The kilim sections usually form the base or border, with the pile picking out the pattern in relief.

Oushak

An Afghan interpretation of the classic Oushak style, built from excellent-quality wool with bold color combinations and repeating geometric or floral motifs — equally at home in a residence or workplace.

Patchwork

Assembled from pieced-together sections in varied colors and patterns, patchwork rugs bring an eclectic, layered look that reads more like a collage than a single design.

Pictorial

Built around a scene or image rather than abstract or geometric patterning, pictorial rugs work equally well as floor coverings or wall hangings for a more artful statement piece.

Qashqai

Designs inspired by the flowers, animals, and people the weavers encounter daily, reworked from memory into original geometric compositions — vivid coloring throughout.

Runner

Not a design tradition but a shape — any rug woven long and narrow, built to run the length of a hallway, staircase, or entryway. Runners appear across nearly every style in our collection, from Baluchi to Kilim to Persian.

Saddle Bag

Originally a functional textile, Saddle Bag rugs carry the same bold color and repeating geometric patterning as larger tribal rugs, scaled down and available in a range of sizes.

Saghari

Definition pending supplier confirmation

A kilim style available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes.

Soumak

A flat-weave technique distinct from kilim weaving, producing a smooth-surfaced rug in repeating geometric patterns, typically in yellow, gold, beige, and ivory.

Sufra

Hand-knotted by Afghan weavers from quality wool, Sufra kilims lean toward bright coloring and refined pattern work.

Tabriz

Hand-knotted in the city of Tabriz, these Persian rugs are considered some of the most sophisticated in the tradition — a natural fit for rooms meant to feel considered rather than casual.

Uzbek

Rugs woven by Uzbek weavers across Central Asia, closely related to the Turkmen tradition that also produced Bokhara and Ersari designs. Expect deep reds, bold geometric guls, and a dense, durable wool pile.

Vegetable Kilim

Originating in Afghanistan, vegetable kilims combine a flat-woven technique with earthy, naturally inspired coloring and quality wool — a style rooted as much in craft tradition as in visual appeal.

War Rugs

Woven by Afghan Baluch weavers, war rugs depict scenes from conflict and daily life — repeating imagery of weapons and helicopters worked into a deep red, brown, and dark blue palette. A genuinely unique category of rug, as much historical document as floor covering.

Yalameh (Yalmeh)

Woven by a sub-tribe of the Qashqai confederation in southern Iran, Yalameh rugs are known for small-scale geometric medallions, saturated color, and a coarser, sturdier weave than more urban Persian styles.

Ziegler

Named for a specific pattern and weave rather than a region or tribe, Ziegler rugs are recognized by their bold coloring and availability across a wide range of sizes.

Zikini

An Afghan rug style built around geometric and floral motifs in repeating patterns, finished in bright, appealing color.
