What makes Oriental Carpets so unique
The Production of Oriental Carpets
The production of oriental carpets is more than just a craft - it is considered a true art form. Unique styles, patterns and colour palettes have developed in different regions, making each area known for its specific designs and craftsmanship. The art of carpet weaving is often passed down within families for generations. Young artisans learn the sophisticated techniques and designs from experienced family members. Oriental carpets are valued worldwide as worthwhile investments and valuable art objects due to their quality and masterful craftsmanship. Despite modern technologies and changes in lifestyle, the tradition of oriental carpets in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan has survived over the centuries.
The knot density of an Oriental carpet
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 carpet that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. In carpet manufacturing, the density of knots represents far more than just the technical connection of threads - it symbolises the dedication, precision and craftsmanship of experienced artisans.
Guaranteed by hand-knotted
A fundamental feature that characterises hand-knotted oriental rugs is their manual production on special looms. Experienced weavers place each individual knot in an elaborate pattern, giving the rug a unique quality. These hand-knotted oriental rugs are dyed using only natural dyes, giving them a rich and vibrant colour palette. We guarantee that all our rugs are hand-knotted, with the exception of our kilim rugs, which are hand-spun.
