The Afghan weaving tradition has a rich heritage that reflects the nomadic lifestyle and artistic expressions of the region.
Vintage Oushak rugs in the Central Asian Afghan weaving style are hand-knotted, a labor-intensive process that involves tying individual knots to create the rug’s design and structure. This technique ensures durability and longevity.
The use of natural dyes is an important characteristic of these rugs. Natural dyes are derived from plants, insects, and minerals, resulting in rich and organic colors that age beautifully over time. They often exhibit earthy tones, deep reds, soft blues, and warm browns, which contribute to the rug’s authentic and rustic charm.
