Questions & Answers
Rugs made in nomadic tents and villages, for example by the Gashgai, Bakhtiari, Afshar, Turkmen or Kurdish weaving families. Typical are bold geometric patterns, often natural dyes and hard-wearing wool, which makes them look more original than fine city rugs.
Nomadic and village rugs are bolder, show geometric motifs and have a looser structure. City rugs are finer, more detailed and are made in large workshops. Nomadic and village rugs carry more of a personal signature, because each piece reflects the tradition of the tribe or village and the hand of the weaver.
