ABOUT THIS PIECE
A Shahre Babak rug is a stunning example of traditional Persian craftsmanship, renowned for its intricate geometric and floral designs. Handwoven in the famous rug weaving region of Kerman, these rugs feature vibrant colours, including rich reds, deep blues, and earth tones, all dyed using natural methods. Crafted from high-quality wool with optional silk accents, the rug showcases the fine Persian knot technique, ensuring durability and a plush texture. With dense knotting, each rug offers a soft yet resilient surface that enhances any room. Note that genuine Shahre Babak rugs are increasingly rare, making them highly valuable for collectors.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
194 × 135 CM (6'4" × 4'5"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
About the length of a 3-seater sofa, so it sits just in front of it with the coffee table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island rather than a rug that came up short.
Only 28 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Only 21 cm of rug would show either side of a queen bed. It works, but 45 cm or more looks settled. At the foot of the bed it suits well.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
