View our Collection of Bold and Geometric Tribal Rugs
Tribal rugs are woven by nomadic peoples who weave mainly on portable looms as they travel. Because of this, tribal rugs are generally smaller than those rugs produced in large weaving centers like Tabriz or Arak. These rugs are also always one of a kind as the weaver constructs each rug individually and sells the finished product at market in order to buy more weaving supplies along with the necessary materials needed to survive. Tribal rugs also tend to be more geometric and have bolder colors than city rugs. Some of the great tribal rugs come from the Caucaucus region, like this beautiful Shirvan, as well as from Turkey (e.g. Bergama #44443) and Northwest Persia (e.g. Bakshaish #43237).
