Our Tribal collection of rug includes Kilims (flat weaves), Lori, Loribaft, Gabbeh, Baluch and Qashqai rugs.
Tribal rugs are woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic tribal weavers. They are considered to be skillfully hand-knotted carpets made by the nomadic tribespeople of Iran, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Turkey and Morocco. Tribal rugs convey a symbolic meaning as they represent global cultures and a multidimensional art form that defines rug-making artistry. The artistry of the tribal rug becomes even more fascinating when you consider the stories that were traditionally woven into them. You can find tips for buying a tribal rug here.

The Qashqai are renowned for their pile carpets and other woven wool products. They are sometimes referred to as "Shiraz" because Shiraz was the major marketplace for them in the past. The wool produced in the mountains and valleys near Shiraz is exceptionally soft and beautiful and takes a deeper colour than wool from other parts of Iran.
Qashqai rugs have been said to be "probably the most famous of all Persian tribal weavings".
