Tribal Rugs

Traditionally, rugs were made from locally available materials--wool and natural dyes.  Designs were a personal expression of pride and creativity rather than customized for the market.  Tribal rugs tend more toward these traditions.  Tribal rugs are generally of geometric designs with vibrant and rich colors.  They are handmade in the remote areas and villages in the traditional manner.  Oftentimes, they are made as part of a wedding dowry.  Types of Tribal Rugs include Konya, Kashkuli, Shiraz, Gabeh, Hamadan and Ofshar.
