Services
Based in London for more than 20 years, we specialise in high quality, beautiful, vegetable dyed, hand knotted and hand woven rugs made by Afghan Artisans, as well as beautiful Persian, Indian and Pakistan rugs.
Unlike other Rug Traders our company make and import the rugs from Afghanistan.
They are collected from our rug weavers all across Northern Afghanistan.
They are transported down into Pakistan and then shipped over to the UK where they are stocked in our extensive warehouse and showroom not far from Wembley Stadium.
When we talk of ''Traditional'' in this context, we refer not only to the process of hand-spun woollen or silk yarns, which are traditionally dip dyed before the weavers hand-knot and hand-weave the rugs, but of the types of patterns and colour combinations.
Even in the twenty-first century, this age old craft continues.
Traditional rugs tend to have borders or multiple bands of borders with the central area displaying the motifs (Gul), floral patterns and geometric patterns.
As expected, they are often darker and with perhaps more conservative colour combinations.
Kazak rugs are hand-knotted oriental rugs are used not only for floor covering but also for wall hangings.
Kazak rugs intensify the space decor and interior well with their enchanting patterns and design.
These rugs suit both contemporary and traditional home Style rugs.
Kazak rugs are said to be status.
In the 18th century, Kazak rugs were originated in the Caucasus by the women of the region.
Weavers of Armenia and Afghanistan used to idealised Caucasian designs.
Kazak Oriental rugs are still woven by the weavers of Hazara, Pakistan, with dedication and passion following the teachings of their ancestor.
When we talk of ''Modern'' in this context, we refer to the appearance not the construction process.
There is no difference in the actual making process of a Modern rug to that of a Traditional rug.
The wool from flocks of sheep local to the weaver's homes and workshops is hand-spun and then traditionally dip dyed before the weaver hand-knots and hand-weaves the rug.
This Sustainable craft has not changed over the years.
The main difference between a hand-made Modern rug and a hand-made Traditional rug are the patterns and colour combinations.
A range of different types of Kilim (Kelim) are made.
These variations depend very much on the area or tribe making them.
Becoming familiar with the different weaving techniques aids the ability to determine the authenticity of each different type.
Here in the Rugcentre, you will find the fullest range and variety of Afghan kilims.
They are durable, easy to maintain and can bring a modern but artisan feel to any room or space in your home.
Using wool fleece from their local flocks of sheep, the process of hand spinning and dip-dyeing the yarn is the same in kilim making as for a full pile hand-knotted rug.
