Geometric Semnan runner, dark blue with border

Place of origin

This rug is from Semnan. Semnan is the capital of a province of the same name. The city is located on the northern edge of the province, about 220 km east of Tehran and 120 km south of the Caspian Sea at an altitude of 1138 meters above sea level on the southern edge of the Elburs Mountains.

Patterns

The abstract, geometric composition creates the simple elegance of this Semnan. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room..

The repeating elements in the center field of this Semnan rug have no specific center (so-called repeating pattern). The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with repeating patterns are also called patterned.

The edge of the rug is decorated with an edging (border). The border forms a excellent contrast to the center.

The background of this Semnan is dark blue. The border features beige and dark blue.

Material

The pile of this Semnan has been hand-knotted from high-quality virgin wool. Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Semnan are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.
