Handmade Abadeh Rug 96 x 59 cm - Iran
Hand-knotted Abadeh in wool, 96 × 59 cm. The field is taken up by a large brown lion seen in profile, on a beige ground in the upper part and grey-blue beneath the animal, scattered with small stylised trees and red flowers; the midnight blue border lines up small red and white rosettes.
In a bedroom, this size slips in as a bedside rug, on the side where you put your feet down on waking; it also suits an entrance hall or the floor in front of a fireplace. Its wool is sturdy, at ease where people walk, under a chair as well as in front of an armchair.

Caring for your rug
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, rub the stain with circular movements and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The Abadeh rug
Abadeh se trouve sur la route qui relie Chiraz à Ispahan. Ses tapis sont l'œuvre de nomades sédentarisés dans les villages alentour, où le climat ne permet ni l'élevage ni la culture : le tissage y est la ressource principale. Structure en coton, nouage plutôt asymétrique, dessins géométriques, et des couleurs végétales où dominent le rouge et le blanc crème.
