Persian rug
This rug comes from Iran (formerly Persia) and, as a Persian rug, enjoys perhaps the highest reputation among all hand-knotted rug types. No other region can look back on a similarly long tradition of rug weaving as Iran. That is why some of the finest and most intricate rugs come from here. The durability, longevity, and quality of the Persian knot remain unmatched to this day.
Persian rugs are generally named after their region of origin. For example, a Nain, a Qom, and an Isfahan rug each come from the Iranian city of the same name.
Premium Wool
Kork wool refers to sheep’s wool from the neck area of the sheep. Wool is a natural material with many practical benefits for everyday use. It is extremely durable and easily withstands daily wear and tear. With proper care, it can also last for many decades without showing signs of aging.
Kork wool is especially soft and lustrous because it has a higher natural lanolin content. That is why it is typically used only in high-quality rugs.
Hand-knotted
Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still represent the highest quality standard among all types of rugs today. Depending on the knotting technique, these rugs are extremely durable and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed the ornaments and patterns that can be displayed in the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual work as well as a higher level of experience and skill from the weaver. Knot density therefore also serves as a key value factor for hand-knotted rugs. However, quality is not directly related to knot density. A more coarsely knotted rug can still be made in excellent quality.
Uniq Rugs supports CARE & FAIR, an organization that brings rug retailers together to support children from rug-weaving families in India and Pakistan. Its mission is to help provide a safe childhood and improve the long-term well-being of these children and their families.
