February Shipment

Doroksh 4x6Loribaft 3x5Fine Bijar 6x6Our new shipment of pieces chosen from Domotex 2007 arrived yesterday. Opening those seven well wrapped bales was like Christmas, albeit without the portly bearded fellow, although I do have to say that I may have enjoyed one too many pies of late and white hairs seem to be cropping up with increasing regularity, sort of a Christmas lite then, exciting none-the-less.
It has been a month since the trip to Hannover and I had forgotten about some of the pieces we were able to find. In terms of quality and selection it has to be the best shipment for a few years. Included were several beautiful Doroksh rugs, with mahi patterns similar to Tabriz but with more interesting tones and shinier wool. We also found quite a few contemporary Loribafts in various colours with the simplistic scheme and clean lines you would expect, perfect for a more casual setting.
I am in the process of changing our wall display to accomodate some of the more decorative pieces. I am particulary excited about an 11 x 16 semi antique Bakhtiar, with a panel design and toned down colours, it is the ideal size for a larger living room in some of Vancouver's Heritage houses. Also, an amazing 6 x 6 Bijar with lots of silk.
8 x 10s, perfect for dining rooms, are often a problematic size as they fall between the metric system for persian carpets but we were able to find some lovely Tabriz Mahis and a striking Dorosksh with an all-over design.
We will follow up with a photo highlight page but in the mean time feel free to stop into the Gallery for a peek.
