Afghan Rugs

Shop Authentic Afghan Rugs in Australia

Discover beautifully handcrafted Afghan rugs made using centuries-old weaving traditions. At Persian Rug Co., we offer an extensive collection of handwoven Afghan carpets that reflect the rich cultural heritage and tribal artistry of Afghanistan.

Handwoven Tradition, Passed Down for Generations

Every Afghan rug in our collection is crafted by skilled artisans using natural wool, vegetable dyes, and traditional hand-knotting or flatweave techniques. These pieces come from renowned weaving regions across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and India, showcasing tribal influences, geometric motifs, and earthy, timeless colour palettes.

Explore the Styles: From Bokhara to Kilim

We stock a wide range of authentic Afghan rug styles, each with its own story, character, and feel:

  • Bokhara Rugs – Known for their soft pile, deep reds, and repeating gul motifs, Bokhara rugs are a staple of Middle Eastern decor and add warmth to both modern and traditional interiors.

  • Kazak Rugs – Featuring bold colours and angular tribal designs, Kazaks are rich in symbolism and known for their durability.

  • Baluchi Rugs – Handwoven by Baluch nomads, these rugs bring earthy tones and rustic charm, perfect for smaller spaces or accent areas.

  • Khorjin Rugs – Inspired by Afghan saddlebag designs, Khorjin rugs are colourful, character-filled, and highly detailed — a true representation of nomadic storytelling in woven form.

  • Kilim Rugs – Lightweight and flatwoven, Kilims bring bohemian texture and bold design to any room, using geometric patterns and natural fibres.

Why Choose Persian Rug Co.?

With over 30 years of industry experience, Persian Rug Co. is one of Australia’s most trusted sources for authentic handmade rugs. Our founder, Paul Sacco, began sourcing hand-knotted rugs from Pakistan in the 1980s. Today, our team still travels through Afghanistan, Iran, India, and Pakistan to handpick pieces from the source.

We never deal in machine-made replicas or imitations. Each rug in our store carries real cultural value and artisan craftsmanship that you can see, feel, and appreciate for a lifetime.

A Wide Range of Sizes, Colours, and Tribal Patterns

Whether you need a large centrepiece, hallway runner, or a smaller accent rug, our Afghan collection includes a range of sizes to suit any space. Choose from rich, warm tones like terracotta, deep red, rust, navy blue, ivory, beige, charcoal, and earthy greens — all colours commonly used in tribal and nomadic Afghan weaving.
