Red Rugs

Red sits at the heart of so many weaving traditions, and ours runs from the deep, glowing crimson of a Biljik to the softened brick of a vintage Kerman.

Afghan Biljik rugs are hand-knotted in Andkhoy by Turkmen weavers, with a silky wool that holds its reds rich and true for years. Afghan Chobi and Balkh rugs carry red into a smooth, low pile of hand-spun wool, while Baluch and Pashm rugs keep the bold tribal geometry. You'll also find Maimana and Faryab kilims, vintage Persian Kerman, Qashqai, Shiraz and Tabriz rugs, and Turkmen Ersari rugs with rows of guls.

Red brings warmth to a room straight away. It looks right with navy, cream and warm timber, sits comfortably in a dining room or study and is forgiving of everyday life. For a hallway, a red runner adds colour without taking over.
