Handmade Moud Rug 80 x 58 cm - Iran
Hand-knotted wool Moud, 80 × 58 cm: a light beige field carries a tight network of lozenges and stylised rosettes, with no central medallion; the frame and brick red border unfurl palmettes and pink, blue, green and ochre flowers, between several beige and ochre borders and light fringes.
In an entrance hall, it warms the floor on arrival: its light beige brightens a dark hallway and its fringes show where the first steps are placed. A bedside runner or the floor in front of a fireplace also suit it. Its wool withstands 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 Moud rug
Le Moud vient de la ville du même nom, dans la province du Khorassan, en Iran. Noué à la main au nœud persan, en laine pour toutes nos pièces, il se reconnaît à son dessin menu, réparti sur tout le champ, qui demande un nouage serré, et à sa palette où le rouge revient souvent, avec des beiges, des bruns et des bleus.
