Gabbeh Rug Bordeaux

The beautiful "Bordeaux" Gabbeh rug was very finely hand-knotted and comes from Pakistan. For the handwork, the Afghan highland wool was spun by hand and dyed with the best natural dyes. These are made from natural materials such as plants and tubers. The slight colour gradient makes the rug special and gives it a harmonious look. Due to the high residual fat content in the wool, the unique piece is particularly insensitive and hard-wearing. 

Our direct import price means that you buy our rugs between 25 - 35% cheaper than traditional retail, because we select and buy the rugs directly on site in the country of origin. This also means that there is no intermediate trade between us and the manufacturer. We pass this price advantage on to our customers in full.

As our Gabbeh rugs are hand-knotted, it is possible that small wool threads may push upwards at the beginning. This is not a material defect, but the testimony of a genuine, hand-knotted rug. The threads can easily be cut off with scissors. We recommend using a hoover with a flat nozzle. This is more gentle on the handmade rug. As this rug is a purely natural product, stains can generally be removed very easily and without complications. Simply wash the stain out with neutral soap and water. Under no circumstances should you use chemical cleaning agents, as the rug is made of pure natural materials and the wool will then be attacked. If you have more persistant stains or you want to give the rug a thorough cleaning after some time, then the hand-knotted rugs can be washed. We offer this rug washing service for our rugs. We also recommend the use of a non-slip underlay to protect your floor and the rug and prevent you from slipping on the rug.
