Antique Textile Piece
There is only one rug like this one in light red: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. At 75 × 75 cm it is well placed as a small accent rug. It comes into its own just as well in front of the fireplace. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin
An enchanting piece of textile from times gone by.This antique textile piece is a collector's item. It is around 176 years old, and for that reason alone a truly special piece. Antique rugs such as this antique textile piece are still very much in demand and are sold at top prices by renowned auction houses.
Material
The silk of the pile of this antique textile piece makes the colours of the pattern shine in ever-changing facets, depending on how the light falls. It turns this antique textile piece into a real highlight and creates an atmosphere in the room that is cosy and at the same time very elegant and refined. Silk is obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silkworm. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be spun that are light in weight yet still tear-resistant. This fine yarn makes it possible to tie smaller rug knots and so to create finer patterns. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this antique textile piece. It had owners before you who valued and used it. It was hand-woven around 1850. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but only partially restored condition. We have not fully restored this antique textile piece, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course gladly carry on restoring the rug for you. We can return almost any rug to near-perfect condition.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
