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 Persian Kashkuli tribe are close kin to the more well known Qashqai tribe. The Kashkuli tribe still lead a semi-nomadic life - mainly based in and around the Iranian town of Shiraz, and migrating into the mountains of the Fars province during the summer months. The Kashkuli produced rugs are known to be the finest rugs of all the nomadic community, with a limited number in existence (as compared with more well-known tribes). They are excellent quality and very hardwearing.
