Charlotte Carpets Gabbeh Kashkoli Oriental Area Rug

Kashkoli is a specific, finer grade of Gabbeh rug. While traditional Gabbeh rugs are known for their thick, plush pile and simple, abstract designs, the Kashkoli style features a higher knot count—in this case, 150 knots per square inch—resulting in a more refined, detailed, and durable weave.

Wool is naturally resilient and stain-resistant, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms or dining spaces. The natural lanolin in the fibers helps repel dirt and liquids, allowing the rug to maintain its appearance with regular vacuuming.

No, the cotton foundation serves as the structural base for the rug. Because this is a hand-knotted piece with a dense wool pile, the foundation is completely concealed by the wool fibers.

The palette of red, ivory, and gold is classic and versatile. The red provides a warm, grounding anchor, while the ivory and gold accents help brighten the space, making it compatible with both traditional wood furniture and more modern, neutral interiors.

Regular vacuuming without the beater bar is the best way to maintain the rug's pile. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid rubbing, which can damage the wool fibers, and consult a professional rug cleaner for deep cleaning every few years.
