Description
Around 100 years ago an English company called Ziegler (by a Swiss founder) altered the colours and the design of some of the original Persian rugs made in Mahal, Sultanabad, Bakhtiar region. These rugs became very popular for the aristocrats and noble families palaces, castles and Manor houses all over the world. In early 1995 the majority of Afghan refugees were relocated to the Peshawar area, Pakistan frontier with Afghanistan, where the idea of making rugs by skilled Afghan weavers to give a livelihood to the refugees was born. Soon after using the ancient method of hand spun wool with vegetable dyes, it became the apparent method of reviving the classic, most popular designs such as Ziegler, Mahal, Sultanabad for the newly made rugs in this area. We started using the same designs from the Persian Garous area (Kurdish weaving rugs in bold designs) in 1995, not ever compromising in wool quality or dyes trying to revive the ancient, famous and decorative designs at affordable prices for our customers. Today Garous design rugs have become some of the most popular and decorative in both contemporary and traditional home decors all over the world.
