These rugs were traditionally offered as a wedding dowry. Owning a Taban rug in the family represented wealth, craftsmanship, and the protection of the new home. Offering a Taban rug to a bride symbolized prosperity, security, and blessings for her future life.
The patterns and colors often vary according to villages and families, but they all tell a story related to life, nature, and local traditions. Designs can include symbols of fertility, protection, and happiness.
The weaving is entirely handmade, and each rug is unique. The natural wear of time gives old rugs a warm and authentic patina, highly prized in contemporary decoration.
