These colourful carpets and rugs are hand-woven in Fars province of south-west West Asia and are brought to market in the Capital city of Shiraz, near the ancient city of Persepolis. The Qashqa’i tribes, now largely settled, who weave these beautiful rugs are particularly well known for their use of vibrant colours, achieved through high quality, hand spun and often natural dyed yarns. The designs are well executed showing Caucasian influence, with the “chain medallions” frequently encountered, along with combs, stylised birds and animals. They are woven on a horizontal ground loom, with a foundation of ivory woollen warps and characteristically red dyed wefts, having edges over wrapped in different coloured yarns producing an attractive barber’s pole effect.
Finding the right rug for a room is not an easy task; colour, design, materials, cost and suitability for the space all have a bearing when purchasing a rug.
Our team is passionate about handmade rugs and has the knowledge and expertise to assess the space in your home and offer advice and style suggestions. Following the consultation a suitable collection of rugs are sourced and brought to your home to try in situ.
Visualising our rugs with their beautiful array of colours, textures and designs, in your own home can be a difficult task.
A rug can create many effects and dramatically changes the look and mood of a room, so checking the colour, pattern and size in situ is the best way to ensure it is right for your space. This is why we offer our ‘try-at home’ service as only when living with a rug can you make that final decision. If you are undecided please let us know and we will be happy for you to try rugs in your own home.
Using the correct underlay is paramount to the longevity of your rug or carpet. Underlay will avoid premature wear and prevent your rug rucking, creeping or slipping, which is not only a trip hazard but can cause damage to your rug. We supply two types of underlay to rectify this problem.
Underlay for hard floors – To prevent rugs slipping on a hard floor such as wood, stone, tiles or laminate we recommend a felt and rubber combination underlay. The natural cushion of the felt irons out any imperfections in the floor underneath thereby preventing uneven wear. The rubber base grips to the floor preventing the rug from slipping. The underlay is approximately 7mm thick.
Underlay for fitted carpets – To prevent rugs from creeping on fitted carpets we recommend an underlay which is thin and fleece-like and feels slightly tacky to the touch. This underlay grips to the carpet underneath whilst gripping the rug on top.
Please contact us if you would like further information or if you require a quote please provide details of the size of your rug and whether it will be placed on a hard floor or fitted carpet.
