Persian Colors Scarlet Rug By Nanimarquina

"The Persian Colors Scarlet Rug belongs to the PERSIAN COLORS collection by Nanimarquina. A collection inspired by tradition and craftsmanship, achieving flexible, soft and bright rugs while being simple and flat. Persian Colors rugs are woven with Persian knot and hand-spun Afghan wool through a very laborious manual process that enriches the fabric, providing an extremely fine texture to the touch. Each thread, each knot, transports us to the universe and to the origin of the rugs. The Persian knot is an essential element of Persian art and culture. Its origin comes from the nomadic tribes of Persia, where rugs were a necessary commodity to protect themselves from winter and often marked the limits of their houses in the desert. The Persian knot technique is used, a hand knotting technique in which half the knot is wrapped around the warp, while the other half is left loose. The result is an asymmetrical knot that can lead to high densities and really detailed motifs."
