COLLECTIONS Chobi Rugs Collection- The rugs in our Chobi collection, which are sometimes also called Peshawar rugs, are made with natural dyes and Ghazni handspun wool by Turkoman weavers. The patterns are based on antique designs, and the rugs in our Chobi collection are amongst the finest quality Chobi rugs available. Chobi rugs often have abrash (or varying shades of the same color) through the pile of the rug, and the colors are often muted, both of which are a result of the use of natural dyes and handspun wool. The rugs in our Chobi collection are often available in a variety of sizes and colors. Pak Persian Rugs Collection- Our Pak Persian collection consists of the finest quality rugs made by Pakistani master weavers, who have passed down the skill from generation to generation since the Mogul rule of the Indian subcontinent in the 16th century. For this reason, they are also often referred to as Mogul rugs. The materials used in these rugs are top quality - most of them use 100% New Zealand worsted wool for the pile, and many have silk fields or highlights of silk. In addition, the rugs use the Senneh (or Persian) weave with very high knot counts, which enables the high intricacy and detail found in the patterns. The rugs in our Pak Persian collection are often available in a variety of sizes and colors. Please submit an inquiry if you like a design listed below but it isnt the right size. Persian Rugs Collection- Our Persian collection consists of top quality workshop pieces from Iran. The rugs in our Persian collection for the most part have curvilinear, floral patterns and are based on classical designs. The materials used range from the finest quality Kurk wool to top quality silk. The detail and intricacy in the patterns of these rugs is very high and rugs in this collection take from 6 months to 2 years to complete Tribal Rugs Collection-Our Tribal rugs collection consists of tribal designs originating in Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. For the most part, tribal rugs are 100% pure wool pieces, with designs reproduced from memory and passed from generation to generation DESIGNS Bakhtiari Rugs- Because of its distinctive pattern, the best known variation of Bakhtiari designs is the paneled-garden variation. The field of the rug is divided into compartments or panels, containing individual motifs or patterns. Often a set of 3-4 compartments is repeated throughout the field. Although named after a region in Iran near Isfahan called Bakhtiari, the origins of the design lie with a mixed group of nomads and villagers of Luri, Kurdish, Armenian, Turkoman, and other ethnic origins, now settled in Southand Central Persia Bokhara rugs- Bokhara rugs(also spelled Bukhara) are among the most popular hand knotted rugs in the world. Many believe that the design originated within or near the (Uzbek) city of Bokhara, but it is actually from the nomadic Tekke tribe in Central Asia (the Tekke tribes rugs were predominantly traded in the markets of Bokhara, however, and eventually acquired the name of the city). Bokhara rugs are now made in a variety of carpet-weaving countries, including Pakistan. The design is dominated by rows of guls and surrounding geometric patterns. Gombud Rugs- Gombud rugs are identified by their spectacular central medallion, which replicates the Islamic (mostly ceramic and inlaid) artwork used to decorate the inside of the domes of some mosques. Some tombs also use a similar design. An example being the tomb of the famous poet Hafiz, in Shiraz, southern Persia. Depicting other forms of art within oriental rugs is not uncommon and we can find many historical examples of this. In some instances, the opposite has been seen; slabs of stone pavement from a palace of King Assurbanipal (dating to 450 BC) seem to have been carved specifically to appear like rugs. Kashan Rugs- Among the most famous carpet designs, Kashan rugs (sometimes spelled Keshan) usually contain a diamond-shaped medallion on a Shah Abbas field - a series of curvilinear floral forms, creating a garden-like background. During the reigns of Shah Tahmasp and Shah Abbas in the 16th and 17th centuries, several royal factories were established for the manufacture of rugs in the Persian empires major centers - Isfahan (Shah Abbas capital), Kashan, Kerman, Tabriz, and Joshaqan, as well as major centers in what is now the Indian subcontinent. Carpet weavers at these royal factories implemented various technical innovations in response to court demand for more intricate rugs with curvilinear, floral patterns (as opposed to geometric repeating patterns). These royal factories were often under direct court supervision as well. It is at this stage that carpet weaving ceased to be purely a nomadic or village way of life and instead became a sophisticated art form. Designs for highly intricate rugs were based on complex paintings as opposed to a reliance on memory. The senneh knot became the primary knot used, as it was more suited to the types of rugs the courts artists and painters designed. The highest quality materials began to be used in order to enable the highly intricate patterns and to ensure high durability with high intricacy Kazak Rugs- Originating from the western area of the Caucasus populated by Armenian and nomadic Kurdish tribesmen, Kazak rugs should not be confused with the state of Kazakstan. Kazak rugs, like many Caucasian designs, are dominated by highly stylized floral motifs. If you like these rugs, you may also be interested in Shivan, which are very similar. Reds, blues, greens, and yellows are the main colors used in these vibrant rugs. The rugs in our Kazak gallery are very fine quality rugs based on antique Kazak designs, and are made with natural dyes and Ghazni handspun wool by Turkoman Afghan weavers Kirman Rugs- Kirman (also spelled Kerman) is a Persian city famous for producing some of the most intricate and detailed designs in hand knotted rugs. During the reigns of Shah Tahmasp and Shah Abbas in the 16th and 17th centuries, several royal factories were established for the manufacture of rugs in the Persian empires major centers - Isfahan (Shah Abbas capital), Kashan, Kerman, Tabriz, and Joshaqan, as well as major centers in what is now the Indian subcontinent.

Kirman rug designs are generally floral, curvilinear patterns and often include a medallion. The pile of Kirman rugs is predominantly wool, while the base is generally cotton Sultanabad Rugs- Sultanabad (now called Arak) is a Persian city renowned for the bold floral patterns of its rugs. The rugs in our Sultanabad collection are based on these beautiful floral patterns, but have been made in much finer qualities.
