Handmade Afghan Rugs
Our handmade Afghan rugs are crafted using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations. Each rug is made from high-quality wool and features intricate tribal patterns unique to Afghan culture. These durable, one-of-a-kind pieces add warmth and heritage to any space while maintaining investment value over time.
Vintage Kilim Cushions
Handwoven kilim cushions showcase geometric designs and vibrant colors from Afghanistan's Maimana region. The flatweave technique creates lightweight, reversible cushions that blend durability with artistic flair. These statement pieces bring cultural authenticity to modern interiors through their traditional patterns and textures.
Tribal Berber Rugs
Tribal Berber rugs feature bold, abstract motifs and a thick pile that reflects nomadic craftsmanship. Made from resilient wool, these rugs offer both visual impact and underfoot comfort. Their timeless designs suit contemporary and rustic spaces alike while preserving the weaver's cultural narrative.
Hand-Embroidered Suzanis
Suzani textiles are hand-embroidered cotton or silk pieces adorned with floral and geometric patterns. Originating from Central Asia, these wall hangings or table coverings require months of meticulous work. Their vibrant colors and symbolic motifs make them standout decorative elements with historical significance.
Rug Care Services
We provide detailed rug care instructions to maintain the longevity of handmade textiles. Our guidance covers cleaning, rotation, and humidity control specific to wool, silk, and flatweave materials. Proper care preserves the rug's appearance and cultural value while preventing damage from everyday use.
