Sirjan
There is only one rug like this one in beige and dark blue: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A knot density of around 300,000 knots per m² makes the painstaking workmanship visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 284 × 89 cm it is in good hands as a hallway runner. It shows to equally fine effect in an entrance hall or on a stair landing. Colouring and texture lend the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin
The town of Sirjan lies in the west of Kerman province. The Afshar tribes settled there knot their rugs mostly as home work, in Sirjan itself and in the surrounding villages. That is why a Sirjan is often also called an Afshar. One of the hallmarks of Sirjan rugs is the so-called Sehkaleh pattern. The medallion has three heads on each side. In Persian, "seh" means three and "kaleh" means head. Typical colours are a light red and a warm dark blue. The rugs are knotted with the Persian knot. Warp and weft threads are made of cotton, with the weft laid double.
Material
The pile of this Sirjan was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.The weft and warp threads of this Sirjan are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation weave.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
