The craft
Every Ruginza rug is knotted entirely by hand, one knot at a time, in the mountains and villages where this craft lives on. Where a rug is made shapes everything about it — the wool, the dyes, the patterns, the very feel underfoot. These are the origins behind our collection.
Origin · Afghanistan
Afghani Gabbeh
Gabbeh rugs are hand-knotted by Afghan tribal and village weavers from thick highland wool. The name itself means "raw" or "natural" — a nod to their chunky, high pile and their honest, unrefined character.
Their beauty is in restraint: open fields of colour, a few bold tribal motifs, and abstract designs that belong to the weaver rather than to any strict pattern. No two pieces are ever quite alike.
Plush and warm underfoot, Gabbehs are among the most forgiving and hard-wearing rugs we carry. They suit living spaces and busy family homes, and they only grow more beautiful with the years.
Origin · Afghanistan
Afghani Sherwan
Sherwan (Shirvan) rugs take their name from a historic weaving region of the Caucasus, and today are hand-knotted by Afghan weavers who carry that tradition forward in wool.
They are known for finely detailed, geometric designs — repeating medallions, stars, latticework, and richly worked borders — usually in deep reds and navy blues lifted by ivory accents. Every element is deliberate and densely knotted.
Hard-wearing and quietly formal, a Sherwan brings the classic "oriental rug" character to a room. These are the pieces that anchor a living or dining room for years.
Origin · Pakistan
Pakistani Double Knot
Woven in the workshops of Pakistan, these are among the finest rugs we carry. "Double knot" refers to the dense, tightly-packed knotting technique that lets weavers render intricate designs with remarkable, crisp detail.
The finer the knotting, the longer it takes — a single piece can take many months at the loom. The reward is a smooth, almost silky surface, precise medallions and all-over florals often drawn from classical Persian (Tabriz and Mahi) traditions, and a subtle, luminous sheen.
Refined and formal, these are collector-grade rugs — best placed where their detail can be admired: living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and studies.
Origin · India
Indian
India carries one of the world's great hand-knotting traditions, and our Indian rugs are woven in soft wool with a calm, contemporary hand.
Rather than dense classical patterns, they lean modern — understated fields, gentle texture, and muted, versatile colour that settles quietly into a contemporary home.
Soft and easy to live with, these are the pieces that complete a room without competing with it.
Heritage
The wider tradition
Hand-knotting is a language spoken across many lands — Persia, Turkey, and beyond — each with its own centuries-old signature. We honour that whole tradition, and more origins will join the Ruginza collection over time.
