A long Sunday lunch, bare feet under the table and a red oriental rug beneath it all. The Tabriz Mahi brings that rich colour and a Persian-style pattern to the dining room, the lounge or the bedroom.

• Pile of 100% handspun wool
• Hand-knotted in India on a wool foundation
• Short pile with an oriental design
• Suitable for underfloor heating

Wool fibres are naturally crimped and trap air, so this red wool rug holds a little warmth. Bare feet notice it straight away. Its fringes are the ends of the warp threads, left when the knotting was finished. Under a table it fits in well with jaloom's Dining Room Rugs, and in a bedroom it gives the first step of the day something soft. Like all our Wool Rugs made by hand, it may differ slightly from its stated size, and our sizing tips help you plan for that.

The rug care tips point out that new wool loses a few loose fibres at first, which settles with vacuuming. Snip any stray thread with scissors instead of pulling it. A dent from a chair leg usually comes back up after you mist the red pile with a little water.
