ABOUT THIS RUNNER
GABBEH
Gabbeh rugs come from southern central Iran. Woven by nomadic travellers that inhabit a large area that include the Zagros mountain range. Most often attributed to the Qashgai people. More likely is that the rugs are woven by any of the tribal groups from the surrounding area. Luri, Khamseh or Afshah. For Gabbeh rugs are coarsely woven with a thick chunky pile They have fat warp and weft threads and that makes them quick to weave. The simplistic freeform designs are much simpler to weave than the traditional Persian rug designs. They are usually woven on horizontal looms that can be quickly staked out on the ground and just as easily taken up when it is time to move camp.

RETURNS
Our rugs are delivered in a re-useable bag so returns are easy.
If you want to return a rug it's up to you to package it securely and arrange the return by courier. I make a full refund immediately the rug arrives here in good condition.
If you would like me to make the collection arrangements using our courier (Fedex), I make a charge equal to the Fedex collection cost. It's usually no more than £20 for mainland UK. A bit more for Highlands, Island and Europe. This amount is deducted from the refund that I make on the rugs return.
