Summary

Malayer Rugs : Malayer is a pretty little town between the cities of Hamadan and Arak. The best grapes flourish in this area and some of the most beautiful rugs are woven there. The consistency, accuracy and authenticity of the rugs in the way of weaving, without influence from other rugs, make them highly sought after. The designs are symmetrical or asymmetrical, floral or geometric. Their wool is of high quality with natural shine. Their colours are herbal and in newer rugs sometimes synthetic.The orange colour combined with the deep red-brown colour of rust, give a special character to the rugs. The result is fantastic when all these colours are combined with Indigo blue of the night and with the natural beige of the wool, which softens and blends the different colours beautifully by giving a three-dimensional look to the projects. Traders always have a Malayer rug in their collection to attract customers.

Antique Rugs : Antiques

Nomadic rugs: Rugs woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade rugs on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their rugs are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some rugs are not even on the entire surface.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the rug. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the rugs. Examples
