Let me help you get to know us…we are a family business based in Geelong, a regional city in Victoria, Australia. We love the homewares, decorations, furnishings and fabrics that enrich the lives of people throughout the world and we look forward to sharing some of them with you.
Our carpets and kilim are high quality, handmade and unique. They are usually from Persia, Turkey, Afghanistan, and the surrounding region. From time to time we have other homewares available.
We love our products and believe you will too. Whether you’re looking for something fresh or traditional, have a browse. If you are on a budget or saving for a handmade carpet, we have high quality machine carpets and runners from Turkey in similar styles that will bring the designs of these regions to your home as well.
We come from Australian and Persian backgrounds, so we understand how important it is to have a home that is comfortable and relaxed, distinctive and beautiful. It should be welcoming to guests as well as a great place for you to live, and say something about what you value and who you are. After all, home is where the heart is.
We love visiting other places and learning about cultures and traditions: seeing history, hearing stories and sharing meals. It’s especially enriching to walk the streets and lanes where local people live their usual lives and to be blessed by their hospitality. At home and overseas we have come to understand the things people make with their hearts, hands and skills for everyday use, from local resources, and drawing from ancient traditions, are infused with the personality of the places they come from.
We get to know our carpets. Some items are simple, others are extraordinary, some are precious others practical.
They tell the story of their environment and times; of celebrations and preparations; of those who made and those who used them; they hold the character and textures loved by and passed through generations; and bear the imprint of the families who passed them to their grandchildren.
Our new rugs reflect ancient styles and traditions and have fresh interpretations and colour, while our older carpets bring the history and culture of another home into yours. Whether it’s a new, vintage or pre-loved piece when you take it home you don’t just have a floor covering, you have become part of a bigger story.
As the Sareban guides travellers on their journey, so we’ll assist you to find a rug that is perfect for your little corner of the world.
Enjoy our selection of beautiful furnishings, and visit us sometime.
