You can’t help but smile when you see this authentic Qashqai Gabbeh rug from Persia. Hand-knotted by the Qashqai tribe in the Fars region, it features a softly heathered grey field encased in a rich, crimson-red border. At the center, two stylized birds perch above a bouquet of blossoms—an endearing motif that gives the piece a sweet, folkloric charm.
The hexagonal panel in the middle seems to float within the bold crimson edges, which are further adorned with large ivory-and-brown flowers that carry the theme of nature throughout the design. Because it’s woven with hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, the rug feels both substantial and luxuriously soft underfoot.
At just under 4 by 5 feet, this rug is a perfect accent piece. Use it to bring warmth to a reading nook, add tribal flair to a home office, or tuck it beside the bed for a cozy morning landing pad. Whether you’re drawn to its charming love-bird imagery, those lush red tones, or the time-honored craftsmanship, this Qashqai Gabbeh promises to be a delightful touch of Persian tradition in any space.

Please Consider
Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.
We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.
We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.
Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.
Sustainability
For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.
Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions
Vacuuming
Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.
Spills
If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.
Professional Rug Cleaning
It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!
