Ghashghai Rugs
Immerse yourself in the world of Ghashghai rugs and discover the art of the Orient. Each pattern resembles a painting and is unique. The pattern is the most significant feature of a Ghashghai rug, combining the tradition of the knotting province and the Passion of the weaver. Thus, an Orient rug embodies the soul of the weaver and the norms and values of the province. A weaver spends up to four years on a specimen. The weavers receive a design template typical of the province, which they follow. It is usually used only once and then varied. In the countryside, however, nomadic Ghashghai rugs are knitted without a template, yet the designs of neighbouring villages are similar. In these cases, the rugs resemble each other in colour and pattern.
Conventional Ghashghai rugs are hand-knotted and originate mainly from the ancient Orient and belong to the nomadic rugs. In many production locations, it is the life insurance of the weavers and other involved actors. Local connections of suppliers and producers allow shorter delivery routes and faster production. This regional network is maintained by passing it on from one generation to another.
Classic Ghashghai rugs are usually made from natural fibres and are relatively coarsely knotted. Natural fibres are divided into plant and animal fibres. In most cases, virgin wool used comes from local production sites. All stakeholders involved benefit from the region.
The processed virgin wool is odourless and has a high-fat content. It makes the rugs resistant and durable. The processed natural fibres ensure a balanced indoor climate combining it with underfloor heating. In addition to virgin wool, other natural yarns such as cork wool, cotton or silk are used.
Ghashghai rug is rich in colours and nuances. Colourful rugs fit in almost any interior, whether classic and oriental or modern and simple.
Handmade rugs need exposure to the sun for over a month to fade sufficiently. This time is usually not met in the supply chain, so it is not a miracle that the rugs fade in your home. The weaver should rotate the rug every two years to ensure uniform fading. In unique cases, the rug will get the final colour after ten years.
Handmade rugs come in all conventional shapes. The most common are rectangular rugs. Two specifications of rectangular rugs are square rugs and long narrow rugs, called "Rug runners." Round rugs and oval rugs, on the other hand, are much rarer.
The precise workmanship of the rug weavers can be seen in the patterns. The careful handwork makes a Ghashghai rug valuable. Each pattern is unique, yet there are affinities within a rug family. Ghashghai rugs make plain, modern interiors look more vibrant through the variety of their colours and patterns, creating a cosier atmosphere.
Ghashghai rugs cut a fine figure in any room, and the timeless oriental design survives the trend of any age. They can be laid out in almost any room, whether in a bright living room or a cosy bedroom. The fantastic patterns make minor stains look invisible. Unlike coarse high pile rugs, such as shaggy rugs, Ghashghai rugs are excellent and short piles, which allows these rugs to fit your walls as value pieces.
Bring oriental culture to your home and appreciate the weavers' creativity and years of hard work.
Ghashghai rugs are an investment for the future. Do not be deterred by high costs. Classic Ghashghai rugs pay back your expenses for their high durability. The rugs can be passed down through generations with regular care and cleaning. In addition, they are relatively stable in price and have low depreciation.
