The colours of the Loribaft rugs and carpets are similar to those used in our Samarkand collections and possibly more vibrant. The main distinction is that the patterns are playful, using a defined colour palette and simple design, with stylised animals, plants, trees or characters with block colour often mimicking an ombre effect. Some Loribaft pieces do not have fringes, so they are finished with a plain kilim end or binding and secured to prevent fraying.

The colours of the Loribaft rugs and carpets are similar to those used in our Samarkand collections, and may be more vibrant. The main distinction is that the patterns are playful, using a defined colour palette and simple design, with stylised animals, plants, trees, or characters in block colour that often mimic an ombre effect. Some Loribaft pieces do not have fringes, so they are finished with a plain kilim end or binding and secured to prevent fraying. Like the Samarkand carpets, other rugs are produced with an unusual bobbin wind on the warps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company's provenance and the rug are worth considering when buying online.
