We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Gabbeh rugs are traditional coarse-knot carpets crafted primarily by Qashqai and Luri tribal weavers in the Zagros Mountains of southwestern Iran. Traditionally produced for personal domestic use as sleeping blankets and floor mats, these rugs are characterized by thick wool pile, abstract geometric patterns, and narrative folk symbolism.

Gabbeh carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation structure. The wool is dyed using natural plant and mineral pigments, including madder root for reds and terracotta shades, indigo for blues, and walnut husks for brown tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy hand-spun wool construction, slight asymmetrical irregularities in the design motifs, and varied colour saturation known as abrash. Examining the reverse side reveals clear hand-tied knots and natural wool warps rather than uniform machine-made synthetic backings.

A tribal rug works effectively as a focal point to anchor smaller seating areas, entryways, or study spaces. The saturated terracotta tones and geometric line work pair well with natural timber furniture, leather upholstery, or layered over neutral sisal floor coverings.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibres. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean cotton cloth, rotate the rug annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and use professional rug cleaning services for deep washing.
