Afghan Shirvan Rugs are inspired by Nineteenth Century Caucasian Shirvan Rugs.

Antique Caucasian Rugs have for many years been the domain of collectors due to their striking geometric motifs and eye-catching colours.

The Afghan Shirvan Rugs represent an endeavour to recreate this type of appealing rug, but ensuring a functional and serviceable rug. The pile of these stunning Afghan Rugs is made from wool, formed by hand-tied knots, and knotted onto cotton warp threads.
