Dyes

Natural Dyes in Persian and Oriental Rugs

Dying is more art-form than science. Dyers occupy an elevated position in weaving societies and pass their secrets from generation to generation. They possess an intimate knowledge of local plants, minerals, and insects to produce natural, light-fast colors that age gracefully over decades.

Organic dyes react dynamically with wool, creating depth and warmth that synthetic colors cannot replicate. At Noor, we prioritize rugs made with these traditional dyes and source matching natural wool and dyes for all our restoration work.
