ABOUT THIS PIECE

This Torkaman rug has been handwoven from 100% handspun wool using horizontal looms by the Torkaman nomads of northeastern Persia.

In Torkaman’s handwoven carpets only thin weft is used, making them more pliable, soft, and pleasant and since they live in cold regions, their carpets are polished thickly with long piles. Passed down through generations, one of the most notable aspects of Torkaman carpet designs is that each tribe has its own motifs derived from its environment, history, and beliefs depicted in elaborate abstract forms.

SIZE AND FIT

How it sits in your room.

160 × 110 CM (5'3" × 3'7"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.

LIVING ROOM
3-SEATERTABLE
Better as an accent

Small beside a 3-seater sofa. It suits a reading corner, under an armchair or across an entry better than a sofa setting.

DINING ROOM
TABLE
Too small for this table

Only 15 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.

BEDROOM
QUEEN
At the foot of the bed

Narrower than a queen bed, so it sits across the foot of the bed, tucked 20 cm under. A pair of runners either side is the other way to dress a bed this size.

YOUR ROOM

Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
