Each piece is carefully selected by the Gooch Oriental team to ensure it's authenticity, quality and finish.

As such, no two pieces are the same, meaning you can add an authentic and unique piece of crafted design into your home, whilst supporting this heritage industry. The Chobi kelim/Maimana Chobi kilims are woven by Uzbek people in the town of Maimana and the surrounding villages in North Western Afghanistan before being transported over to Pakistan where they are expertly finished including washing. The Maimana Chobi Kilims are based on traditional patterns of the original Maimana Kilim. They are bold geometric and flowery designs with a stunning decorative and rich vibrant colours. They are woven using wool on a cotton base using the same traditional dyeing methods as the original weavers. Kelims do not have a pile, but they are very hard wearing. Kelims are reversible and unlike a piled rug the colour doesn't look any different from either end. The benefits of a wool rug

• Warm and durable, wool feels beautifully soft underfoot and is long-lasting

About your new rug

As this rug is made using natural fibres, shedding is to be expected. This will reduce over time, and should not have an impact on the lifespan or performance of your rug. When you first get your rug, please use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner whilst the shedding dies down. After that, when vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres.

Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents.

Attend to spillages immediately and blot with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining. Dilute a small amount of appropriate carpet shampoo in water. Dampen a colourfast cloth in the diluted shampoo solution and dab the rug, lightly agitating, moving in the direction of the pile. Treat the whole rug and not just the affected area. To restore the appearance of the affected area, use a soft bristled brush to gently comb in the direction of the pile. Allow the rug to thoroughly dry.
