Additional Information:
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 – without the condition issues associated with antique rugs. These finely woven rugs have a thin, closely sheered hand-knotted woollen pile that creates the look of the original examples of yesteryear.
