Description

Extraordinary "Lost & Found" Rug

In the late 90’s…

Catalina co-founder Jeff Shadkam spent a lot of time and money flying back and forth to the biggest and best rug-weaving centres in Iran. 

He would tirelessly visit grand bazaars and auction houses, meet with friends, and friends of friends, make connections and network with rug experts….

All in pursuit of the best hand-knotted rugs ever made past & present.

Around that time… 

Catalina was procuring a LOT of hand-made rugs.

So much so, that dozens of hand-knotted, hand-selected rugs, meticulously chosen by Jeff would be queued up… ready to be sent back to America…

But with the tricky import / export situation between Iran and the U.S.

Oftentimes, it could take years to get a shipment of rugs back onto U.S soil.

So how long did we wait for the extraordinary rug to arrive?

10 years.

As you can imagine, that’s a long time to wait, isn’t it?.

Especially for a rug that Jeff’s own father…

Having seen it advised him to:

“use it in a room for the rest of your life”.

By 2010, it was finally here.

Jeff excitedly took it home and rolled it out proudly in the living room…

And… it looked just as good as he remembered it.

But…

A lot of time had passed since he first saw this extraordinary rug…

And unfortunately, it was too big for the biggest room, we now had at home.

The sides were touching wall to wall (and if possible, we always recommend a border of at least 6 inches around our rugs at home – at minimum. In fact, we think a bigger border is better)

So the room in all honesty, was not large enough to see this extraordinary rug flourish.

However…. we did keep it at home to enjoy for a while, but ultimately…

Decided it would be better to pass it on…

… to someone who had a bigger room and to the right person who could get the full joy of a rug as nice as this.

That was the plan.

But then…  some new space opened up in our warehouse…

…Which allowed us to shuffle things around a bit, as we took on new inventory etc.

And this extraordinary rug…

This magical work of floor-art.

Was lost in a rug inventory abyss (actually it wasn’t really lost, lost, just rolled up and left in a corner).

How did this happen? 

Well, it’s just one of those things.

Have you ever had an item of clothing you adored…

Only to lose it at the back of the closet or wardrobe…

Then find it again months or years later…

And wonder how it was even possible that you ever forgot that you had it — in the first place?

You probably have, haven’t you?

Well, that’s what happened to this rug.

It was lost, misplaced, forgotten…

But now… 

It is found and celebrated once more here on this page.

Feel free to check out all the details and if you feel that this extraordinary rug is for you, be sure to act quickly… because there is only one.

(Note:  this rug has recently been listed on our website, but it wasn’t easy to find. This dedicated “show-page” solves that problem. And now the Extraordinary “Lost & Found” Rug is here for all to see, we don’t expect this rug to be available for much longer, so if you have a big enough room at home and ample budget, our advice is to claim it before someone else). 

This is Aharabi Salami Signed Persian Rug
