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 gutshan rug
Our gutshan rugs are made from hand-spun wool using traditional craftsmanship. The quality of this wool plays a crucial role, as it has a direct influence on the durability and aesthetic appearance of the rug. The creation of a gutshan oriental rug begins with the design of a carpet pattern, which serves as the basis for the subsequent knotting. Various designs, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes or medallions, can be considered. Before the actual knotting, the warp (warp threads) and the weft (weft threads) are prepared on a weaving frame, with the warp threads forming the basic structure of the rug. This meticulous carpet-making process is based on centuries-old traditions and requires in-depth craftsmanship. Depending on the size and complexity of the rug and the experience of the weaver, this process can take several months or even years.
