Silly Shirvan is a nomad carpet: a cool, rustic guy who is just waiting to make every room unsafe with you. Carpets like this one are made by nomads directly from memory, freestyle and without a pattern. The carpet was made in the Shirvan region in the Caucasus. The geometric pattern is typical of nomadic tribes and the villagers of the Orient. With over 100 years it is considered an exclusive, antique collector's item. It is the epitome of wicked stability: honest sheep's wool is undoubtedly the most important material for a hand-knotted carpet. After shearing, the wool is divided into different grades, cleaned, washed and further processed by hand. Hand weaving with a loom is the oldest method of making a carpet. Due to the long tradition, many regional specialties have developed. Typically hand-woven carpets have no pile, but instead have an identical motif on both sides and can therefore be used on both sides. Because of their compact structure, woven carpets are very robust and resistant.
