A phenomenal Gul-I-Gul rug, currently up on our wall.
Gul-I-Gul is plural for ‘gul,’ a Persian word meaning flower or rose. They are elaborately decorated medallions, often octagonal in shape, with a calming, all over symmetry.
Aside from the lustrous, high elevation hand-spun wool, it’s the mastery and artistry of the dyer that brings out the extraordinary hues of madder root red, ranging from vibrant rusty orange to deep crimson.
