Origin
Ardebil is the birthplace and also the burial site of the Safavid dynasty (1501 to 1722), which mattered so much to Persia and to the art of rug knotting. This rather modest provincial town today owes its fame to the so-called Ardebil rug from the mosque of Ardebil, knotted in the 16th century and bought in the second half of the 19th century by the German Oscar Strauß on behalf of the Ziegler company.Traditional Ardebil rugs are predominantly geometric in design and show Caucasian influences. They are, however, easy to tell apart from Caucasian rugs. The pile wool is less lustrous and drier than the wool of Caucasian pieces. Most Ardebils also have a cotton foundation (weft & warp). Floral patterns occur only in exceptional cases, and then mostly in geometricised form.
Material
The pile of this Ardebil was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, 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.
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.
