Oriental Rugs
Oriental rugs not only add an elegant touch to your interiors, but also create a sophisticated atmosphere with their ornate patterns and vibrant colours. Each rug is meticulously hand-knotted, knot by knot, using natural wool, organic natural colours and fine silk. These rugs are not only stunning decorative works of art, but also extremely hardwearing floor coverings. If you want to add warmth to the room, reddish-coloured rugs are recommended. If you want to make the room appear smaller, choose a darker-coloured 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.
Knot density of oriental carpets
The quality of a carpet is reflected in its fineness, which is defined by the knot density - the number of knots per square metre. This measure is not only an indicator of the precision of the craftsmanship, but also has a significant influence on the overall quality of the carpet. A higher knot density not only allows the creation of complex patterns, but also demonstrates the masterful skill of the craftsmen. The skilful knotting of fine knots creates a rug that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. The knot density of our carpets can be found on the product page under the properties.
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.
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.
Materials
Oriental carpets are made using a variety of materials, the choice of which has a significant influence on the quality, durability and aesthetic appearance of the carpet. Our rugs are mainly made from natural materials such as cotton, sheep's wool or silk. Each region uses its own characteristic materials, which give the rugs individual qualities and cultural characteristics. The result is a versatile range of rugs characterised by unique patterns, colours and textures.
