I love the way you speak about the Afghani people who make these rugs. I have a few of them in the deep reds and blacks with beautiful floral traditional designs that I first saw in a Turkish TV series "Ressurection Urtugrul" and that began my interest in these hand knotted rugs. I don't have a lot of money but I keep buying more as I truly love the tribal rugs.
Thanks, nice explanation and nice job done. But could you cover the heritage/provenance and meaning of GÖLS from the caucasian area regarding rug designs?
The price depends on how authentic the quality of the rugs are, the wool/silk type, the weave density, the dye types etc. I've seen some afghan carpets go for over 10 grand (and be worth it), most really high quality afghan carpets fetch a pretty penny
Many Afghan weavers weave the rugs in refuge towns in Iran and are treated like second class citizens... To me, all are equal and since many of my Afghan friends speak Persian (Farsi), its more out of habit that I refer to the Afghan rugs as Persian....
@@mprugs understood but to those who are not cognoscenti like me it is much clearer to use terms that reflect the origin of the rug as we the customers want to know where the product was made. Your point shows that everything to do with rugs has hidden complications! I'm not placing the rugs in a hierarchy either... I'm currently in Istanbul and looking for a rug to ship home and I thought I might get a medium size tribal afghan rug... We've bought rugs from India in the past (made in Agra, Kashmir, and Afghanistan) so we are accustomed to haggling. We're staying close to the Hagia Sofia if you know a good place to go please let me know. 👍🏻 I have a very fine kashmir silk on silk rug which is a bit of a travel trophy.
Hi, Thank you for your support and kind words... The Kazak rugs are part of the rugs from Pakistan and they are different than the pieces you see in this video. The tribal Afghan rugs are softer and not as tight whereas the Kazak are thicker and tighter. Both are good rugs and typically fairly inexpensive, but they are very different... Hope the info is of help.
@@mprugs where? Pakistan? Pakistan have no history of Kazak how can they have the reuge? Kazak is Afghan and it is a trib in Afghanistan who make them. Maybe they still make it as a refugees in Pakistan
@@negakonniga9937Afghanistan and Kazak. Kazaks also came to Afghanistan as refugees. from Kazakhstan, Afghanistan gave nationality to these people. In this way, they came to Pakistan from Kazakhstan and settled in Pakistan. I understand the Pashtun nation that they are ignorant and talk like ignorant and hypocritical people. But I did not expect this from my Persian speakers and Kazaki speakers. 😢
Hi, I mentioned that the Afghan carpets are fairly inexpensive, but I do not mention prices as they vary in each country due to cost of living, taxes and so on... As you can also see in my website, I do not sell these type of Afghan rugs and it would not make sense to state prices when they are priced differently in many countries... Hopes this helps...
@@mprugs yeah but I want to know the price of afghan rugs in Afghanistan ? How much one can get hand made carpet , because I am a student in Pakistan , my mother is from Afghanistan, and my grandmother is from Iran . So I wanted to start a business with my friend regarding this, checked your channel , find things interesting , so that's why .
I would recommend people source out easily available reference material… on textiles of Afghanistan,lots of partial and dis-information here,exclusion of terminology,Kunduz,Beshir,design nomenclature …..this channel should try to do better :(
I drive a French car, Its a Peugeot but it's very similar to a British car made by Vaxhall. I don't care! I always tell people that my car is British. There is nothing you can do about it.
Sorry to telling you brother . Actually you are desrespacting Afghan peoples art and hard work by calling it Persian. You know that very well Afghan spends months even in some cases years to make one single peace
Beautiful, beautiful rugs. Thanks for this presentation where we can learn and appreciate the hard work and talent of these artisans.

Persian rugs are also Afghanistani ( Khorasani ) rugs anyway
What, no Baluchi?
I struggle with the idea that Afghan rugs can be called Persian when they are made in Afghanistan.

@@mprugshi sir can I talk to you on Instagram or Facebook...? Please reply
Because Persians claim everything even the famous poets of Afghanistan
Thanks for information but you didn't elobrate anything about its knotting structure which is very important and should be detailed in your video
Are these the same as the KAZAK? Pardon my ignorance. I'm just now learning.

These stammes from Timurid Herat probably
Do you realize how contradicting and biased that sounds? " this is hand made carpet made in Afghanistan by afghans but I call them Persian carpet "
Afghan carpenters are HUGELY underpaid. These carpets value are much higher than the prices you’re mentioning just saying
Dude you didn't mention the price ?

There goes another Persian claiming Afghan rugs as Persian. No shame. Aryana too lol
They are not Persian rugs. Afghan rugs are way better than Persian rugs
