Description

Knotted by hand by Khaleh Begum in Ardal, high in the Zagros mountains, this plain wool rug is the Persian Gabbeh at its most essential: a thick layer of handspun wool in warm brown, like freshly turned earth in the valleys.

There is no pattern, only colour and texture, and that is its strength. It calms a busy room and lets furniture and light do the talking.

Its long shape fits beside a bed, in front of a sofa or in a wide hallway.

Every Qooch rug is woven from the weaver’s imagination, without a predefined design. She decides the colours and shapes while she weaves. Each design is her own unique creation. Each day she adds a few rows of knots, in the time left after her housework. Qooch brings these rugs to homes far from the Zagros mountains. Every rug sold honours the weaver’s skill and patience, and helps keep a centuries-old tradition alive.
