Summary

Name of the rugs woven in the town of Nahavad in Northwestern Persia, near the city of Hamadan. Nahavand rugs use wool of great quality. The weave is delicate and complex. The colours vary and with dominant shades those of red and blue.The designs are geometric representations of flowers and sometimes scenes from the animal kingdom.

With the name Ornak we mean small rugs that the Nomads use as a sample and as a pattern in order to weave bigger rugs. Every ornak rug is usually one quarter of the motif of a bigger rug. When the Nomads weave a rug by using an Ornak as a pattern they add or leave out some motifs, they may use the same or other colours, so that in the end they create their own creation.

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
