Moud

There is only one rug like this in beige: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 160k-200k knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. At 304 × 256 cm it works well as a large living room rug. It shows to equally good effect in the dining room beneath a table for six to eight people. Colouring and texture lend the room a warm atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin

In earlier times, the east of Iran lived from farming and livestock. Rugs were knotted for people's own use only. It was not until the governor of the provincial capital Mesched went looking for outstanding rugs for his palace around 1830 that rug production began to develop there. The renowned rug knotter Amini had his high-quality rugs knotted in the small village of Moud (also Mood, Moudt, Mud), and so gave the rugs of this region their name. A larger centre of production grew up in the neighbouring town of Birdjend, which is why Mood rugs are also traded under the name Birdjend.

What all Moud rugs have in common is their palette of strong blue and red on a beige ground. They are knotted with an asymmetrical knot. On the back, a Mood can be recognised by the warp threads shimmering through in white.

Material

The pile of this Moud 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

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
