The colours of the Loribaft rugs and carpets are similar in many ways to those used in our Samarkand collections, and they are possibly more vibrant. The main distinction is that the patterns are playful, with a vibrant colour palette and simple design, with stylised animals, plants, trees or characters with block colour often mimicking an ombre effect. Some of the Loribaft pieces do not have fringes, so they are finished with a plain kilim end or binding, which is secured to prevent fraying. Other rugs are produced, like the Samarkand carpets, 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\u003eWhen considering buying online, it is worth thinking about the company's provenance and the rug.
