Nomadic Rugs: Travel the World from the Comfort of Your Home

Rug patterns - tradition meets passion

Dive into the world of nomadic rugs and discover the art of the Orient. Each pattern resembles a painting and is unique in itself. The pattern is the most important characteristic of a nomadic rug, it combines the tradition of the knotting province and the passion of the weaver. A rug from the Orient thus embodies the soul of the weaver and the norms and values of the province. A weaver spends up to four years on one piece. The weavers are given a design template that is typical for the province and which they follow. This design template is usually used only once and then varied. In the countryside, nomadic rugs are knotted without a template, but the designs of neighbouring villages are similar. In these cases, the rugs are similar in colour and pattern. Nomad rugs have knot densities of varying fineness. Persian rugs such as the Afshar Sirjan, the Gashghai, the Hamadan, and the Bakhtiar have a knot density of approximately 160,000 to 202,500 knots per square metre; this means that they are finely made. rugs such as the Heriz or the Garawan have a knot density of 122,500 to 160,000 knots per square metre. Under no circumstances, however, should a relatively low knot density be taken to imply the quality of these wonderfully thick rugs.

Nomadic Rugs are available in various designs. The beautiful variants of the nomadic rugs, such as Afshar Sirjan, Garawan, Gashghai, Hamadan, Bakhtiar, and Heriz, are listed in our shop under the category "Persian Rug - Nomadic."

Rug Production - A closely linked network

Conventional nomadic rugs are hand-knotted and originate mainly from the ancient Orient. In many production locations, nomadic rugs are the life insurance of the weavers and other actors involved. Local connections of suppliers and producers enable shorter delivery routes and faster production. This regional network is maintained by passing it on from generation to generation.

Rug material - The benefits of natural fibres

Classic nomadic rugs are usually made from natural fibres. Natural fibres are divided into plant and animal fibres. In most cases, pure new wool is used, supplied from local production sites; this means that all stakeholders involved benefit from the region. The processed virgin wool is odourless and has a high-fat content, making the rugs resistant and durable. The natural fibres 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.

Rug colours - The transformation of colours

A Nomad rug is rich in colours and nuances. Colourful rugs in shades like blue, green, red, or yellow fit in almost every 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 observed in the supply chain, so it is not a miracle that the rugs fade in your home. The rug should be rotated every two years to ensure even fading. This way, in some cases, the rug will only get its final colour after ten years.

Rug shape - The right cut for every interior

Handmade rugs come in all conventional shapes. Rectangular rugs are the most common. Two specifications of rectangular rugs are square rugs and long narrow rugs, the so-called

"rug runners". Round rugs and oval rugs, on the other hand, are much rarer.

Rug patterns - detailed and unique

The precise artistry of the rug weavers can be seen in the patterns. The careful handwork makes a nomadic rug so valuable. Each pattern is unique, yet there are similarities within a rug family. Nomadic rugs make simple, modern interiors appear more lively through the variety of their colours and patterns and thus create a cosier atmosphere.

Living - rugs are an enrichment for every home

Nomad rugs cut a fine figure in any room. The timeless oriental design survives the trend of every age. They can be laid out in almost any room, whether in the bright living or cosy bedroom. Even stains do not bother them. The fantastic patterns make minor stains look invisible. In contrast to coarse high pile rugs, such as shaggy rugs, nomadic rugs are very fine and short piles, which means that these rugs can also be added to your walls as valuable pieces.

Bring oriental culture into your home and appreciate the weavers' creativity and years of hard work.

Nomadic rugs are an investment for the future; don't be put off by the high cost. Classic nomadic rugs pay back your expenses through their long life. The rugs can be passed down through generations with regular care and cleaning. In addition, they are relatively stable in price and have little loss in value.
