For more than two decades, Samarkand Gallery has brought quality, comfort and style to Mornington Peninsula homes. Today we are still one of the few rug businesses that travel to Afghanistan to source our beautiful rugs from the artisan weavers themselves.
From a small shop on Main St, Samarkand Gallery is now at bustling 23 Progress St in Mornington where we have one of the biggest showrooms of handwoven rugs in Australia. Our authentic collection includes some of the finest quality silk rugs, classical, tribal, and wonderfully unique rugs.
Hand-knotted carpets are more than just a combination of inspiring colours and designs. Each piece is an original form of artistic expression revealing the origins, heritage, culture, and traditions of its weaver. Every knot is imbued with patience and time-honoured craftsmanship to create long-lasting, quality works of art for your floors. In fact, a handwoven rug will be the most functional work of art you will ever own.
Our rugs are coloured with all-natural fruit and vegetable dyes, giving them earthy tones that create an authentic feel to any décor. These rugs will last for more than 200 years if cared for as advised.
Rugs were originally made for mud floors, and although the flooring was hard, it was porous and provided friction. No wonder antique rugs do not have many stains and are mostly preserved. Modern-day flooring means the rugs require additional care, so we provide custom-cut felt underlay to stop any type of slip or stain.
Samarkand Gallery also washes and repairs rugs. Visit our website to find out more.
