Dive into the world of Mir rugs and discover the art pieces of the Orient. Each pattern is like a painting and is unique in itself. The pattern is the most significant feature of a Mir rug, it combines the tradition of the knotting province and the passion of the weaver. Thus, a Mir rug embodies the soul of the weaver and the norms and values of the province. A weaver spends up to four years on one specimen. The weavers are given a design template typical of the province, which they follow. This design template is usually used only once and then varied. In the countryside, the nomads weave rugs, while Nomads weave rugs without a template, yet the designs of neighboring villages are similar. In these cases, the rugs are similar in color and pattern.
Conventional Mir rugs are hand knotted and originate mainly from the ancient Orient and belong to the nomadic rugs. The production of Mir rugs is the life insurance of the weavers and other involved actors in many production sites. Local connections of suppliers and producers, allow shorter delivery routes and faster production. This regional network is maintained by passing it on from generation to generation.
Classic Mir rugs are usually made from natural fibers. Natural fibers are divided into plant and animal fibers. In the vast majority of cases, virgin wool is used, which is supplied from local production sites. This means that all stakeholders involved benefit from the region. The processed virgin wool is odorless and has a high fat content. This makes the rugs resistant and durable. The processed natural fibers ensure a balanced indoor climate and can also be combined with underfloor heating. In addition to virgin wool, other natural yarns such as cork wool, cotton or silk are used.
A Mir rug is rich in colors and nuances. Colorful rugs fit colorfully in almost any interior, whether classic and oriental or modern and simple.
Handmade rugs need to be exposed to the sun for over a month to fade sufficiently. This time is usually not met in the supply chain, so it is not a miracle that the rugs fade in your home. To ensure even fading, the rug should be rotated every two years. Thus, in individual cases, the rug will get the final color only after ten years.
Handmade rugs come in all conventional shapes. The most common are rectangular rugs. Two specifications of rectangular rugs are square rugs and narrow long rugs, called "rug runners". Round rugs and oval rugs, on the other hand, are much rarer.
Mir rugs cut a good figure in any room. The timeless oriental design survives the trend of any age. They can be laid out in almost any room, whether in the bright living room or in the cozy bedroom. Even stains do not bother them. The fantastic patterns make minor stains look invisible. Unlike coarse high pile rugs, such as shaggy rugs, Mir rugs are very fine and short pile, which allows these rugs to be added to your own walls as value pieces. Bring oriental culture to your home and appreciate the creativity and years of hard work of the weavers.
Mir rugs are an investment for the future. Don't let high costs scare you away. Classic Mir rugs pay back your expense, through their long life. With regular care and cleaning, the rugs can be passed down through generations. In addition, they are relatively stable in price and have low depreciation.
The precise workmanship of the rug weavers can be seen in the patterns. The careful handwork is what makes a Mir rug so valuable. Each pattern is unique in itself, yet there are affinities within a rug family. Mir rugs make simple, modern interiors look more lively through the variety of their colors and patterns, thus creating a cozier atmosphere.
