Old Chenar
There is only one rug like this in dark red and lilac: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 90,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. At 155 × 103 cm it suits a bedroom or a study. It also looks at home in a seating corner. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin
Chenar (also romanised as Chenār) is a small village of just under 300 inhabitants in the Iranian province of Lorestan.This Old Chenar is around 66 years old and a real collector's piece.
Material
The pile of this Old Chenar was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural oil content, the surface repels droplets of water and is thus naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound.The weft and warp threads of this Old Chenar are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and flexible, making it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation.
Condition
This Old Chenar has had admirers before you. It was knotted around 1960. It has been cleaned thoroughly and is in good but only partly restored condition. The pile is slightly worn. The fringes could do with a repair. We have not fully restored this Old Chenar because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course be happy to restore it further for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
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.
