Origin
The pattern of this New Schirwan draws on the design elements of classic Bakhtiari rugs. This rug, however, was not knotted in the Caucasus but in Pakistan.Schirwan (also Shirvan) rugs are knotted by hand in the eastern Caucasus, in the Schirwan region. They are knotted from exceptionally fine wool and have a low pile. Old Schirwans are held in high regard by collectors in Europe and fetch strong prices.
The wide border is characteristic of Schirwan rugs. The field is often dominated by imaginative geometric patterns. In terms of colour, these rugs are frequently knotted in blue, though red and ivory tones are common too. The many-coloured patterns give rise to a refined and varied palette.
Material
The pile of this New Schirwan 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 range of impressive qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is 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.
