The small town of Varamin (Veramin) is situated in close proximity to the capital Teheran. The carpets knotted here are tightly woven, using high quality wool and dyes. They have a very distinct style and are known for their intricate designs. The carpets typically feature a central medallion surrounded by smaller medallions, all arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The colours used in Varamin carpets are often earthy and warm, with browns, reds and golds being the most common.
These carpets are highly sought after for their beauty and durability and will only increase in value with age.
Patina
Our collection of Patina carpets is comprised of older Persian carpets that all show signs of natural wear and ageing. The carpets are carefully selected with the intention of preserving their cultural heritage and breathing new life into them. All our Patina carpets are washed before undergoing a thorough inspection. If any signs of damage are found these are attended to, and if the pile is unevenly trimmed it is gently polished down to achieve an even pile and add a natural sheen to the carpet.
The result is a one-of-a-kind carpet that still possesses all the qualities of an older hand-knotted carpet. A beautiful carpet with a genuine feel that has intentionally been allowed to retain a distinct patina appearance: to be discovered and admired by yet another generation to come.
