Rug Type:
-
Hand-knotted Rugs
Sturdy pile rugs meticulously woven by hand, with individually hand-tied knots, so no two are exactly alike
Age:
-
New
Recently woven and never used in a home
Main Color:
- Orange
- 100% wool
- Medium pile (about .5" high)
- Contrast hand-bound edge detail
- Slight variations in size due to handmade nature
- Color palette: fiery orange, spiced pumpkin orange, cantaloupe, tan, bone beige, canary yellow, golden yellow, prussian blue, royal blue, powder blue
- This rug is the real thing—entirely hand-knotted by expert weavers, which is rare, as even "luxury" retailers frequently sell hand-tufted or hand-loomed substitutes
Gabbeh-style rugs are identified by their saturated colors and playful imagery. Often with thick frame borders, like a painting, these thick, soft rugs depict a rich and sophisticated sense of color, telling stories with idiosyncratic geometric details amidst an abyss of saturated, dappled monochrome.
Rug DesignBilel has a nuanced earthy red field of various hues, surrounded by a geometric border of alternating blue and yellow triangles. Its minimalist central medallion is a simple tan square, and its multicolored bound edge is our favorite thoughtful detail.
Material DetailsThese pieces are hand-knotted with a soft blend of sheep and lambswool. Unparalleled for centuries, wool has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It's woven onto wool wefts, adding enviable body and heft.
SupplierOur partner, located in Mirzapur, has been weaving rugs for 25 years. Both Fair Trade and Goodweave certified, their unparalleled quality, expertise, and sense of artistry make them a popular choice for many higher-end brands around the world.
- We recommend that you regularly vacuum your rug to remove dirt and grime. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum.
- Every few months, you’ll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the grit out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug once a year to ensure even wear over time.
- Every 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.
- In case of spills, use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. If the stain is persistent, try using a mild detergent. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.
