Afghanistan, Central Asia
Afghanistan, meaning land of the Afghans, has been an ancient focal point of the Silk Road traders and a valued prize for migrating nomadic hordes. A highly diverse ethnicity coupled with mountainous terrain and cold steppes perfect for sheep rearing, results in carpets with a kaleidoscope of deep cultural meaning. Afghan natural conservatism resists commercialisation thru foreign influence so even many new rugs have a solid aesthetic and eternal "feel". Please enjoy my personally selected collection. Milton
