This modern design geometric Afghan Chubi carpet has a warming chestnut brown colour with an eye catching centralised motif of connecting beige and gold squares giving a woven illusion of marquetry in a carpet! The versatile warm neutral colours of the comforting pure wool pile of this handmade piece will work well in diverse interiors. 

Modern Impactful Design

This impressive carpet as a strong graphic design with it's 24 connecting geometric squares in a balanced rhythmic arrangement within a centralised panel concept. The main panel has a central geometric patterning and is an appealing woven example of the geometry of parquet floor pattern interpreted into a contemporary woven carpet. There is a great sense of spaciousness created with the broad framing of the centralised square. 

Colours and Meanings

Find and explore colours within this handknotted piece of walnut, nut browns, tobacco, as well as beige and golds within the central panel too. Even in areas of seemingly no pattern there are the natural tonal variations of handspun and hand-dyed wool. This wool pile is created from handspun Afghan Ghazni wool. This type of wool is a high grade wool from sheep that are raised in the high altitude Ghazni province. Because of it's high lanolin content (as the sheep are fed in rich pastures), the wool fleece has not only durablity, but also lustre. As the wool is handspun it takes up dye differently, allowing subtle variations of tone even in areas of seemingly little decoration or pattern. This adds depth and interest to the main field colour. 

What does Chubi Mean?

Chubi/ Choobi or Chob-i  or Chobi derives from the word 'wood' and natural colours and dyes that create them. Many Afghan carpets have these natural looking earthy colours from natural vegetable dyes which are used in the creation process. Natural dyes are long associated in the past with indigneous plants and roots for dyeing wool as botanical dyes and natural artisanal dyes of today. These produce the delightful brown tones of this piece in colours of tobacco, walnut and light oak-like colours.

Frequently asked questions about Afghan rugs

Oriental rugs are renowned for their longevity and can often last for generations. 

I’d like to buy it, is the rug shown the rug I’ll get? 

Yes, all of our rugs are handmade and the vast majority are one-of-a-kind. This is the exact rug you will receive. No substitutions.

I’m interested in this rug, but would like to see it before I decide – can I come and see it at your shop? 

Of course! All of the rugs displayed and shown as in stock on our website are available to view and buy in-store.

How quickly will I receive my rug and how much does delivery cost? 

We aim to dispatch our Rugs as quickly as possible. Deliveries in the UK are generally achieved in 2-3 working days. Within the UK there is no carriage charge for rugs.

I’m not located in the UK, will you send it to destinations outside of the UK?

Please contact us, referencing which rug you would like to buy and your delivery address to find out shipping costs.

How long will my rug last? 

Hand-knotted Rugs and Handwoven Rugs are extremely long-lasting items. If properly looked after Oriental Rugs can outlive their owner and maybe even last for generations. In many cases rugs improve with age.

Will the colours of my rug fade? 

Handmade Oriental rugs will soften in colour over time. Of course, like any textile, if the rug is used in an area of strong sunlight, such as in a Conservatory for instance, the fading process will be more rapid. During days of strong sunshine, it is good practice to draw the curtains or blinds to keep your Oriental rug looking at its best.

Will the colours transfer onto the flooring underneath? 

This is a tricky one to answer! If only we had a crystal ball! There is a risk. Our rugs are all handmade and made with artisan dyes. All of our rugs are thoroughly washed prior to export and any excess dye should come out in the washing process. However, on the odd occasion, the dye can still sometimes transfer. This phenomenon is increased by humidity and temperature, and is regrettably irreversible. If you are concerned about this possibility, perhaps consider using an Underlay to put a barrier between the rug and the flooring/fitted carpet underneath.

How do I care for my Afghan Rug

They are easy to care for, but here’s a few helpful pointers to keep your new Afghan rug looking great: 

Vacuum

Hoover it regularly – perhaps once a week. This is good practice as tiny dirt particles can cause premature wear. Vacuum it with just the nozzle suction, as rotating brushes can be abrasive. Try to keep the vacuum cleaner away from the fringes as this is probably the weakest point on an Oriental rug; fringes and vacuum cleaners don’t mix!

Rotate 

It is a good idea to rotate your Afghan rug on occasion. This will help prevent areas of concentrated wear. Foot shuffling when watching the TV is a prime culprit! Rotating your rug will also help to even-out any incremental changes in colour from exposure to sunlight.

Blot

Any spills should be blotted immediately: blot with kitchen towel or clean un-dyed absorbent cloth; avoid rubbing or scrubbing which can spread the spill or push the spill deeper into the rug.

Use a Rug Underlay

A good rug underlay will keep the rug in place, thereby preventing uneven wear and will help the rug keep from going out of shape.

Professional Cleaning

This is something that is required infrequently, perhaps every 3-5 years depending on use. Please contact us if you would like to have your rug cleaned as we offer a Rug Cleaning Service.
