Ghashghai carpets | beautiful nomadic carpets from Persia

Ghashghai

Ghasghai carpets (also known as Ghashghai) are made by the nomadic people of the same name, who now live in the large city of Shiraz in Iran. With a density of up to 180,000 knots per square metre, the Ghashghai is one of the coarsely knotted Persian carpets. The robust structure and red-brown colouring are typical of the handmade unique pieces made from sheep's or goat's wool

Ghasghai rugs - a unique expression of the rich nomadic culture

The traditional Ghasghai carpets are created using a centuries-old knotting technique that is passed down from generation to generation. The centre of their production is the region around the city of Shiraz, which is located in south-west Iran. The Ghashghai nomadic tribe, which consists of many smaller tribes and family groups, has settled there. The carpet they weave is known as the "king of Persian carpets" - a title that refers to the high artistic talent of the Ghashghai. There are no patterns. Instead, the master weavers follow their creative inspiration and their keen sense of colours and shapes. They are inspired by their immediate surroundings, so Ghashghai carpets are predominantly decorated with motifs from the vibrant flora and fauna of Iran. The use of the Heibathlou design, in which a central medallion is surrounded by four rosette-like motifs, is also typical.

Real Ghasghai rugs for your living room, bedroom or hallway

The Ghashghai nomads only use natural materials for their carpets. The wool comes from their own sheep and goats, the dye from local plants and minerals. In combination with the coarse knotting, this gives their carpets a particularly high resistance. The Ghashghai is therefore ideal for heavily used living areas such as the living room, children's room or hallway. In addition to its functional benefits, the nomadic rug will enchant your home with its characteristic aesthetics. Its reddish-brown colour full of warm nuances makes it easy to distinguish from other oriental rugs. The Ghashghai have deliberately chosen this basic colouring, as it is reminiscent of the gentle play of colours in the Persian landscape. A rug from this historic nomadic people is a good choice if you value durability, aesthetics and naturalness in your home textiles.
