About Kevin

Kevin Sudeith is an artist and the creator and curator of the war rug collection seen on warrug.com. Beginning as (and remaining) a collector, he began selling war rugs to learn as much as possible about the rugs. Later he sold what he calls "regular rugs" to better study rugs and their historical origins. Sudeith learned how war rugs related to traditional Afghan tribal and workshop rugs as well as the broader Turkmen and Persian rug traditions.

    Nigel, thanks for the comment. Yes, the image, Azadi Square is in Tehran, but the rugs appear to be from Mashad. The main reason I say Mashad is because of the wool, but the borders and colors (colors to a lesser degree) also suggest Mashad. The rug below’s borders are particularly familiar as Mashadi Balouch (or Turkmen influenced Balouch.)
