Handmade Garadgeh Rug 97 x 67 cm - Iran
Small Garadgeh measuring 97 × 67 cm, hand-knotted in wool: three medallions are aligned on a brick red field, a pale pink hexagon surrounded by ivory hooks at the centre, two notched stars at either end, among small stylised animal figures.
Near a window, the brick red lightens and the orange, green and blue touches of the ground stand out one by one; in the evening, under a low lamp, the pale pink medallion takes over. This size works as a bedside rug, in an entrance hall or in front of a fireplace. Its wool stands up to the daily traffic of a living room.

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 Garadgeh rug
Le Garadgeh vient d'une région historique d'Iran dont les tapis reprennent le vocabulaire persan classique. Noué main en laine, il se reconnaît à ses médaillons, souvent alignés au centre du champ, à ses motifs floraux et à ses couleurs riches, le plus souvent sur fond rouge, avec des variations de dessin d'une pièce à l'autre.
