- 100% wool
- You may find traces of dried hay, grass, or straw in your rug as grazing sheep often collect plant matter in their coats. Remove gently by hand or with tweezers.
- Authentic wool fibers were used to weave this rug. Please note that when wool gets damp, it will smell like a wet sheep. This is the scent of lanolin, which acts as a waxy barrier against dirt and moisture.
- Medium pile (about .5" high)
- Color palette: fiery orange, spiced pumpkin orange, cantaloupe, tan, bone beige, canary yellow, golden yellow, prussian blue, royal blue, powder blue
- Contrast hand-bound edge detail
- This rug is the real thingŃentirely hand-knotted by expert weavers, which is rare, as even "luxury" retailers frequently sell hand-tufted or hand-loomed substitutes
- Due to its handmade nature a 5% variance in size, color and texture is to be expected.
The Collection
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.
The Design
Bilel 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.
The Material
These 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.
The Maker
Our 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.
- Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
- 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 cleanedŃthis 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.
- Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
- Spot cleaning instructions:
- Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
- Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
- If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
- Repeat this process until the stain is removed
