Oriental rugs made from cotton
Cotton is often used as a warp thread for oriental carpets due to its flexibility and ease of handling. These properties enable a precise weaving technique and the realisation of complex designs. Oriental rugs with a cotton warp tend to be lighter, which is particularly advantageous for small or frequently moved rugs. In addition, the use of cotton makes such rugs easier to clean.
Oriental Carpets from Jakobson Carpets
Jakobson Carpets' philosophy is to produce authentic oriental carpets under fair conditions. Our carpets are exclusively hand-knotted, a process that requires skill and time. The high knot density in our hand-knotted carpets is crucial to their exceptional durability and attention to detail. We rely on traditional manufacturing methods and use only natural materials such as wool, silk and cotton, with the choice of material depending on the specific region and style of the rug. We proudly maintain our own production in Iran and Afghanistan, which ensures the quality and authenticity of our rugs. In addition, we offer our customers a generous 3-year warranty and a 31-day return policy to provide them with the highest level of satisfaction and confidence.
Cotton
Cotton is a natural fibre obtained from the seed hairs of the cotton plant. This plant is cultivated worldwide and has a long history as an important source of textile raw materials. Cotton fibres are characterised by their softness, breathability and absorbency. With high tensile strength and resistance to wear, they are often used as warp threads in oriental carpets as they are flexible and easy to handle.
Origin
Our oriental rugs from Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan are recognised worldwide for their masterful craftsmanship and artistic designs. These countries have a long and impressive history of carpet making. Persian carpets, famous and named after different regions, stand alone. Afghan and Pakistani carpets, on the other hand, often bear the names of their places of production and are characterised by the successful combination of traditional oriental flair with modern design.
Oriental carpets
The fascination of oriental carpets lies in the skilful craftsmanship of hand-knotting and the use of exquisite materials. Experienced artisans dedicate themselves to creating these unique and highly prized works of art with painstaking manual labour. A decisive indicator of their quality is the knot density, with a higher density indicating finer craftsmanship and increased value. The precise insertion of individual knots forms the characteristic pile of the carpet. Oriental carpets of this type are made in various countries in the Middle East and Central Asia, including Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other regions.
