History of Tribal Rugs

The hand-knotted rug is said to have originated from the pastoral nomads of Central Asia who had access to wool from their sheep. They might have used animal pelts initially, but weaving was eventually invented, and people started making coverings from cut wool. The first knotted pile rugs may have looked like animal pelts with long pile shag.

Tribal rugs have a rich history and are skillfully hand-knotted or woven by nomadic or tribal women worldwide. They are made in countries such as Turkey, India, and Morocco. These rugs often contain traditional stories, indigenous symbols, and patterns that reflect their historical period.

Tribal rugs are made of high-quality hand-spun wool and vegetable dyes, featuring beautiful yet simple designs. These traditional tribal designs are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners and are versatile enough to suit standard decor styles.
