The tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan and the mass expulsion of Afghan people have resulted in a move towards the creation and completion of all rugs being focused in Afghanistan. You may notice the softer wool feel and a slightly longer pile. The rugs will be hard-wearing and practical, with a high lanolin content to help resist everyday wear and tear, an ideal choice for room-sized rugs for family homes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehese uniquely designed rugs were made by the Seljuks, a nomadic people whose origin can be traced back to the 10th century; they took their name from a tribal leader named Seljuk. Today, the Seljuk people are responsible for creating some of the most stunning carpets and rugs we have ever encountered. The colour palette is drawn from their environment, with particularly unique combinations of deep madder reds, medium-dark blues, golds, yellows, and pinks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease click the hyperlinks in gold if you are interested in additional information.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Afghan_rug\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eAfghan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehandmade carpets are increasingly well-regarded.
