What Are War Rugs?

War rugs are handmade rugs that feature military, conflict-related, or other pictorial imagery as part of their design. There is no single pattern or appearance that defines every war rug. Designs can vary in imagery, colors, composition, and size.

The QRugs collection includes rugs described as Afghan war rugs, pictorial rugs, tribal rugs, and military-inspired rugs. Since these are individual handmade pieces, the exact design and details vary from one rug to another.

Afghan War Rugs

Afghan war rugs are a central part of the QRugs War Rugs collection. The available selection includes rugs described as Afghan war rugs and Afghan pictorial rugs, with designs incorporating military and other distinctive imagery.

If you are specifically looking for Afghan rugs, you can also explore our Afghan Rugs collection to see the wider selection.

The War Rugs collection includes different colors and design combinations, including ivory, blue, brown, green, pink, red, gold, orange, and multicolor examples.

Because each rug is an individual piece, the color combination, imagery, dimensions, and construction can vary. Check the individual product page for the exact details of each rug.

Hand-Knotted Wool War Rugs

The collection includes hand-knotted wool war rugs. Hand-knotting describes the way the rug is constructed, while wool describes the material.

With hand-knotted construction, individual knots are tied to create the rug's pile. The exact construction and material information can vary between products, so check the individual listing for the specific rug you are considering.

Pictorial War Rugs

Pictorial war rugs use recognizable imagery as an important part of their design. The QRugs collection includes pictorial Afghan war rugs and other pictorial wool rugs with distinctive visual compositions.

Rather than following one repeating pattern, a pictorial war rug can make its imagery the main focus of the design. Product photographs are the best way to see the exact imagery, colors, borders, and composition of each available piece.

Military and Tribal War Rugs

Some rugs in the collection are described as military war rugs, tribal military rugs, or Afghan tribal war rugs.

These pieces can differ considerably in appearance. Some emphasize military or conflict-related imagery, while others combine these elements with tribal rug designs and handmade construction.

Review the photographs and product information for each individual rug to understand its specific design and characteristics.

Caring for a Handmade War Rug

Vacuum regularly using a gentle setting and avoid aggressive brushing or beater bars, particularly around delicate areas and fringe.
