Tribal Persian rugs are produced by nomadic tribes that were always on the move in search for better pastures for their sheep. The nomadic lifestyle of the weavers has a major impact on the shape, colors, and designs of these rugs.

Tribal weavers used their surroundings as inspiration for their designs. All dyes used were also obtained from natural vegetation available in their surrounding area. This resulted in a fascinating array of patterns and colors in tribal rugs produced in different areas.
