Uzbekistan’s artisans keep Silk Road traditions alive, weaving wool and silk into exquisite carpets that contain history, colour, and heart.
Along Uzbekistan’s ancient Silk Road, the art of carpet weaving carries on as a living tradition.
In Khiva, Samarkand, and Bukhara, master artisans transform wool and silk into vivid works of history and heart.
Using natural dyes drawn from the earth, they spin colourful threads and weave patterns representing nomadic beliefs, Zoroastrian fire symbols, and the harmony of steppe life.

In Uzbekistan, weaving remains more than craft – it’s the rhythm of culture, colour, and time itself.
