Originally created by the nomadic Turkmen and Mogul communities of Northern Afghanistan, the Aryana rug displays a combination of floral and tribal elements along with an appealing luster. The name Aryana refers to an ancient region in Central Asia. These rugs are characterized by both geometric and curvilinear patterns, celebrated for their remarkable handspun wool and use of natural dyes. The pigments used to create these rugs are derived from materials such as walnut husk, madder root, indigo, kesuphul, ousparak, and pomegranate. Moreover, a distinctive feature of Aryana area rugs is their gentle “abrashness,” which reveals subtle variations in color within the wool. The Aryana carpet featured at Ruby Rugs not only offers softness but also embodies sophistication and elegance—an exquisite delight for the senses.
