Our Products

What are handmade rugs?
Handmade rugs are masterpieces of intricate design, mirroring a rich tapestry of history, tradition, and unmatched skill. Woven meticulously by artisans, often drawing from ancestral knowledge, these rugs are not just visually captivating, but they encapsulate stories and traditions from their lands of origin.

What materials are your rugs made of?
We have a diverse range that celebrates the elegance of premium materials. Whether it's the warmth of 100% wool, the robustness of wool anchored on a resilient cotton base, the luxurious interplay of wool and silk, or the sheer opulence of pure silk, each rug stands testimony to the quality we vouch for.

How can I differentiate between a handmade rug and a machine-made rug?
Handmade rugs are synonymous with individuality and personality. Their handwoven nature might lead to subtle imperfections or variations, which accentuate their charm. Moreover, the natural fibres they employ give them a distinct tactile quality.Conversely, machine made counterparts often have a uniform finish, use synthetic materials, and their underbelly might display a more industrial construction.

Where are your rugs sourced?

Committed to authenticity, our rugs are curated from revered rug-making hubs worldwide. Whether it's the Persian landscapes echoing intricate designs or other culturally significant motifs, each piece tells a story of its native soil.

 

Do you offer wholesale rugs in NZ?

Indeed, we do. Recognising the multifaceted demands of our patrons, House of Haghi offers wholesale options. If you're considering a wholesale partnership or any form of collaboration, we are keen to discuss it directly with you.

Can I get a rug made from my own design?
Absolutely! We are champions of individual creativity and would be thrilled to bring your bespoke designs to life. Furnish us with your ideas and desired dimensions, and our artisan brigade will weave your vision into reality.


Caring for Your Rug

Can I wash handmade rugs?
Handmade rugs are delicate pieces of art. For minor blemishes or spills, gentle spot cleaning with a mild detergent might suffice. However, for a deeper cleanse or in cases of significant soiling, it's always prudent to seek the expertise of professional cleaners who specialize in artisan rugs.

How do I handle rug stains?
Immediate action is crucial when faced with spills. Blotting the spill with a clean cloth without rubbing can prevent the stain from setting. While a mixture of distilled white vinegar and water might serve as a temporary remedy for stubborn pet stains, a professional clean guarantees the rug's longevity and aesthetics.

How should I care for my rug?
Routine vacuuming, preferably without a beater bar, is your rug's best friend. It keeps the rug dust-free and prevents the fibres from compressing. Moreover, rotating the rug periodically ensures that it wears evenly, especially in areas that witness heavy footfall.


Ordering & Shipping

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?
Certainly. We understand and value the diverse needs of our clientele. For bulk orders, we are open to discussing special rates and potential collaborations. Reach out directly to our team to explore more.

Is there a trade discount?
Yes. Professionals in design, decor, and architecture have always been our esteemed collaborators. We offer exclusive trade discounts as a nod to these cherished partnerships.

Can I request colour samples?
Certainly. We grasp the significance of colour in design choices. Hence, we're ever eager to provide you with colour swatches to ensure that you pinpoint the exact shade that complements your design vision.

A seamless shopping experience is our promise. Post dispatch, you'll be armed with a tracking number, allowing you to trace your rug's journey until it graces your doorstep.

General Queries

Is an underlay or rug grip essential?
While it's not compulsory, an underlay or rug grip is always a commendable choice. Beyond preventing accidental slips, it bestows added cushioning for comfort and safeguards your rug's integrity, ensuring it enjoys a prolonged life.
