This ghashghai is a real highlight. Its colours and patterns reflect the life of the Ghashghai nomads of Iran. These nomadic tribes live mainly in the neighbourhood of the city of Shiraz. Bring a piece of ancient Persian culture into your own four walls.


Village / Nomadic Rug

This rug belongs to the village and nomadic rugs from Iran, formerly Persia. This type of rug is hand-knotted in smaller towns and villages according to age-old tradition. Nomads also still knot Persian rugs in the open air. The rugs are made without a pattern and entirely from memory. They are characterised by classic ornaments arranged in straight-lined and geometric patterns. Thanks to their cultural and traditional origins, these rugs have a unique character that embodies ancient Persia.

Natural wool

Wool is a natural material that brings important positive properties to everyday life. It is extremely hard-wearing and can easily withstand daily stress. With proper care, it can also live for many decades without showing signs of aging. Natural wool is also dirt-repellent with its own fat content, which protects it from dirt and moisture. Wool is suited for underfloor heating systems. It regulates to a certain degree the humidity in the room and insulates sound and heat.

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
