Gabbeh Rug Safia

This unique Gabbeh rug from the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region depicts a beautiful ocean. The different blue colour nuances make the rug look very harmonious and bright. A high quality Afghan wool was used for the knotting, which was spun by hand and dyed with carefully controlled colours. You can place this unique rug on a floor with underfloor heating, but we recommend that you use an anti-slip underlay to prevent the rug from slipping.

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.
