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.

The production of a Nain carpet
Nain carpets are made from high-quality wool and silk, which gives them their characteristic softness and smoothness. The weaving process requires precise manual labour, with the high knot density resulting in exceptional fineness and attention to detail. After weaving, the rugs are carefully shorn and trimmed before being finished in an elaborate washing and drying process. These rugs are often characterised by symmetrical, floral patterns, delicate medallions and elaborate borders. The production requires skill, patience and adherence to traditional craft techniques, and the result is rugs of outstanding quality and timeless beauty that are appreciated worldwide.
