Yalameh
There is only one rug like this one in rust red and dark blue: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 200,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. At 308 × 85 cm it is well suited 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
Yalameh belongs to the knotting region of Isfahan in the western part of central Iran. Its defining characteristic is a lively, colourful palette. Typical are colour compositions of royal blue, deep red and a restrained green. For nomadic rugs, the knotting is very fine and the pile is clipped very short.The field is divided into precise geometric shapes – usually squares or diamonds – and star or animal motifs are set into them. Larger Yalameh rugs in particular often show the so-called "se-hoze" motif, a basic pattern with three vertically arranged hexagonal medallions into which star and animal motifs are scattered seemingly at random. "Se-hoze" translates roughly as "three ponds". The star and animal motifs are thus worked into the depiction of the three ponds like reflections.
Material
The pile of this Yalameh 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 number of impressive qualities: thanks to the wool's natural oil 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 absorbs sound.The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Yalameh is made of new wool.
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.
