New Weave Qashqai Maharloo Persian Gabbeh Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven by Qashqai nomads of southwestern Persia.
Traditionally woven as thick floor covering for winter months, Gabbehs are unique one of a kind pieces of art handwoven by nomads of the mountainous Fars region.
Gabbehs exhibit some of the most original and unique designs within Persian rugs, with simple fields of colours, checkered designs and symbols and motifs of flora and fauna.
Handwoven on horizontal looms, Fars Gabbehs are made from sustainably sourced local handspun wool and natural dyes and feature a thick soft lustrous pile.
Gabbehs and more generally the weaving traditions of Fars region are registered by UNESCO as a part of world intangible heritages
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
260 × 180 CM (8'6" × 5'11"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
A 2-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 45 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 50 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a queen bed with 54 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
