This ghashghai is a real highlight. Its colours and patterns reflect the life of the Ghashghai nomads of Iran. These nomadic tribes live mainly in the neighbourhood of the city of Shiraz. Bring a piece of ancient Persian culture into your own four walls.


Village / Nomadic Rug

This rug belongs to the village and nomadic rugs from Iran, formerly Persia. This type of rug is hand-knotted in smaller towns and villages according to age-old tradition. Nomads also still knot Persian rugs in the open air. The rugs are made without a pattern and entirely from memory. They are characterised by classic ornaments arranged in straight-lined and geometric patterns. Thanks to their cultural and traditional origins, these rugs have a unique character that embodies ancient Persia.

Natural wool and pure silk

A combination of arguably the finest qualities of sheep’s wool and pure silk. Natural wool is known for its high durability, dirt-repellent properties and thermal insulation. At the same time, the silk content creates a unique sheen that seems to glow from the right angle. Silk embellishments add striking accents to the design, creating a real wow factor. Even today, silk is a symbol of pure luxury. It is painstakingly harvested by hand and woven into textile fibres.

Hand-knotted

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still represent the highest quality standard among all types of rug. Depending on the knotting technique, these rugs are extremely hard-wearing and can last for generations. The finer and denser a rug is knotted, the more detailed the ornaments and patterns that can be shown in the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual work, as well as a higher level of experience and skill from the weaver. Knot density is therefore also a key factor in the value of hand-knotted rugs. However, quality is not directly linked to knot density. A more coarsely knotted rug can still be made to an excellent standard.
