Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

The Mongol invasion around 1279 – the Mongols carried Central Asian rugs with them and used them as tents and saddlery – gave a boost to the local production that most likely already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 then awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China purely for export to Europe and North America. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called American China rugs, hand-knotted between 1900 and 1940 especially for the American market, are a case apart. Their colours and patterns are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the American interior style of the period. Only a handful of pieces ever found their way from the USA to Europe. That is why the so-called American China rugs are particularly rare here. This old US Import China rug is around 90 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The plain rust-red field is framed by a border in dark green.

The refined arrangement of the decorative elements works especially well within the overall composition. The proportions are generous, and the floating arrangement gives them a modern feel. Typical motifs are dragons, vases and peonies on abstracted leaves and tendrils. The motifs often sit in medallions placed in the centre or in the corners. Along the edge you will frequently find geometric forms, above all interwoven swastikas. The motifs resemble those on Chinese porcelain made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small degree of technical variation in the making of classic China rugs is a sign of a strict tradition that follows set rules. Despite the fairly coarse execution, the pattern is worked with exceptional precision.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCondition\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis US Import China rug has a story to tell.

Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

Yazd is one of Iran's oldest cities. The oasis city, built largely from mud brick, has existed since the third millennium BC. Its unique architecture has earned it a place on the World Heritage list.

Because demand was so strong, the local workshops leaned more and more on the patterns and colours of Kerman rugs, so that Yazd and Kerman rugs can be hard to tell apart today. Matters are complicated further by the fact that rugs with Keshan patterns were also made in Yazd.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254671978589,"sku":"7918","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/7918_gesamt_5d34f070-6fe5-4010-b605-8f481782e03f.jpg?v=1586906145"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-131-x-68-10052","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 131 x 68 cm | Nr. 10052","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Re-Import Sarough, beige with an all-over pattern, central medallion and border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e131 cm x 68 cm (= 0.89 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (natural colours)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1930\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eBeige, olive green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628889993309.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628889993309.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug comes from Sarough (also spelled Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 90 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

Dyeing with natural or plant-based dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dye per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours creates fascinating, shifting patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this Re-Import Sarough are made of cotton.

Because the capital Tehran is so close and wages there are higher, Veramin rugs are now barely knotted any more. It is assumed that the knotting craft became established here at roughly the same time as in Qom, that is at the beginning of the 20 century, and that the workshops were once set up by investors from Tehran. What speaks for this theory above all are the colour compositions of early Varamins, which recall those of Qom rugs.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254672633949,"sku":"17526","price":390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17526_gesamt_637e3eec-fe4a-4585-838b-32ecd2648de2.jpg?v=1586906185"},{"product_id":"alter-sarough-teppich-110-x-65-3671","title":"Old Sarough | 110 x 65 cm | Nr. 3671","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Sarough, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e110 cm x 65 cm (= 0.72 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e420.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, Beige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628891271261.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628891271261.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug comes from Sarough (also Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of Iran's best-known rug-knotting regions. Located in the west Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of every kind are knotted, in part also to the specifications of the customer. Especially popular are the neighbouring Farahan designs, the region's own Sultanabad patterns and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this class of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high. This old Sarough is around 70 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Sarough are elegant and wonderfully varied.

The tradition was fostered by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844 he had the court workshops moved back from Cairo to Hereke. Hand-knotted Hereke silk rugs are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted at densities of up to 6 million knots per m². Thanks to the knotting technique, incidentally, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as it is on the front. At renowned art auction houses, antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs on Hereke rugs are flowers, branches and leaves as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab pattern, a prayer niche shown together with oil lamps. Alongside traditional motifs and typically Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today also knotted with more modern designs adapted to contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a luminous yellow and various natural tones in every nuance.  This old Hereke is around 60 years old and a true collector's piece. The hunting motif, much sought after among rug lovers, graces this strikingly beautiful Hereke silk rug.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe paradise garden design is a stylised depiction of a traditional Persian garden. The Greek word \"paradeisos\" goes back to the Middle Persian word \"pardēs\". Originally the word referred to the Persian royal gardens, and only in the biblical context did it take on the connotation of the garden of God. The fertile, artfully laid-out royal gardens were home to a wide variety of exotic plants and animals. They are enclosed by a wall, symbolic of the separation between heaven and earth. Paradise gardens are places of veneration and symbols of status. Traditional Persian gardens were rectangular, with a river or body of water running from north to south and from east to west, forming a cross that divides the garden into four sections. Roofed pavilions or structures and raised walkways for viewing the garden from above were just as common as fountains and waterfalls symbolising eternal life. In rugs with a paradise garden motif – like this one – the depiction of water, so precious in arid regions, plays a prominent role.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Hereke is light blue. The overall impression is also dominated by beige and light blue. The border is worked in beige, light blue and dark red.

It turns this Hereke into a real jewel 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 silk moth. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be spun that are light in weight yet still tear-resistant. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied and therefore finer patterns to be created. This is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. In this Hereke, even the foundation is made of pure silk. The thin but hard-wearing material of the weft and warp threads permits a particularly fine knotting, and with it a particularly fine pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254681645149,"sku":"18195","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18195_gesamt_7179137e-5618-4f02-915c-cea140e326c5.jpg?v=1586906485"},{"product_id":"antiker-us-import-china-teppich-147-x-80-15705","title":"Antique US import Chinese rug | 147 x 80 cm | Nr. 15705","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral antique US import Chinese rug, beige with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e147 cm x 80 cm (= 1.18 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (natural colours)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e120.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e10mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1910\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eBeige, Dark blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628894744669.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628894744669.usdz\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRugs were in all likelihood known in China very early on. The Mongol invasion around 1279, which brought Central Asian rugs into the country that were used as tents and saddle gear, gave a boost to the local production that probably already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China solely for export to Europe and North America. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eA special case are the so-called American China rugs, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours and patterns of American China rugs are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the US interior style of that period. Only a very few pieces ever found their way from the USA to Europe. That is why so-called American China rugs are especially rare here. This antique US Import China rug is a collector's piece. It is around 110 years old, and that alone makes it a truly special piece. Antique rugs like this US Import China rug are as sought after as ever and fetch top prices at renowned auction houses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The colouring of this China rug is artful – even though it is pared back to just a few shades. The refined arrangement of the decorative elements works especially well within the overall composition. The proportions are generous, and the floating arrangement gives them a modern feel. Typical motifs are dragons, vases and peonies on abstracted leaves and tendrils. The motifs often sit in medallions placed in the centre or in the corners. Along the edge you will frequently find geometric forms, above all interwoven swastikas. The motifs resemble those on Chinese porcelain made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small degree of technical variation in the making of classic China rugs is a sign of a strict tradition that follows set rules. Despite the fairly coarse execution, the pattern is worked with exceptional precision. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe decorated surround (border) forms a wonderful contrast to the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe background of this US Import China rug is beige.

Dyeing with natural or plant dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale it even takes two kilos of weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. And fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eBut the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content.

Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254684889181,"sku":"11044","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/11044_gesamt_c7e514ac-1da9-430b-942c-f53090055b66.jpg?v=1586906584"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-124-x-76-18196","title":"Old Hereke in pure silk | 124 x 76 cm | Nr. 18196","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Hereke in pure silk, dark blue with an all-over pattern, central medallion and border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTurkey\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e124 cm x 76 cm (= 0.94 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1.000.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1970\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, Beige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628897431645.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628897431645.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVery valuable silk rugs come from the Turkish town of Hereke. The tradition was fostered by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844 he had the court workshops moved back from Cairo to Hereke. Hand-knotted Hereke silk rugs are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted at densities of up to 6 million knots per m². Thanks to the knotting technique, incidentally, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as it is on the front. At renowned art auction houses, antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs on Hereke rugs are flowers, branches and leaves as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab pattern, a prayer niche shown together with oil lamps. Alongside traditional motifs and typically Ottoman or Turkish designs, Hereke silk rugs are today also knotted with more modern patterns in tune with contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a luminous yellow and various natural tones in every shade. This old Hereke is around 50 years old and a real collector's piece. The signature \"HEREKE\" and a number are knotted into the weave of this silk rug.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

It turns this Hereke into a real highlight and creates an atmosphere in the room that is cosy and at the same time highly 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. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied and therefore more intricate patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. In this Hereke even the foundation is made of pure silk. Thanks to the thin but hard-wearing material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting and therefore a particularly fine pattern are possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254693212253,"sku":"18196","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18196_gesamt_2df07dd2-fb00-4d38-9699-60b0cbaf7812.jpg?v=1586906724"},{"product_id":"antiker-us-import-china-teppich-141-x-67-18840","title":"Antique US import Chinese rug | 141 x 67 cm | Nr. 18840","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric antique US Import China rug, beige yellow with medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e141 cm x 67 cm (= 0.94 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e90.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eBeige yellow, dark red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628899397725.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628899397725.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRugs were probably known in China very early on. The Mongol invasion around 1279 – the Mongols carried Central Asian rugs with them and used them as tents and saddlery – gave a boost to the local production that most likely already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 then awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China purely for export to Europe and North America. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special case are the so-called American China rugs, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours and patterns of American China rugs are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the US interior style of that period. Only a very few pieces ever found their way from the USA to Europe. That is why so-called American China rugs are especially rare here. This antique US Import China rug is a collector's piece. It is around 100 years old, and that alone makes it a truly special piece. Antique rugs like this US Import China rug are as sought after as ever and fetch top prices at renowned auction houses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The colouring of this China rug is artful – even though it is pared back to just a few shades. The refined arrangement of the decorative elements works especially well within the overall composition. The proportions are generous, and the floating arrangement gives them a modern feel. Typical motifs are dragons, vases and peonies on abstracted leaves and tendrils. The motifs often sit in medallions placed in the centre or in the corners. Along the edge you will frequently find geometric forms, above all interwoven swastikas. The motifs resemble those on Chinese porcelain made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small degree of technical variation in the making of classic China rugs is a sign of a strict tradition that follows set rules. Despite the fairly coarse execution, the pattern is worked with exceptional precision.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The abstract, geometric composition is what gives this US Import China rug its understated elegance. The pattern flatters the way a room is arranged and never draws attention away from the furniture, the décor and the architectural details. It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e At the heart of the central field of this US Import China rug lies the symmetrical centre, also known as the medallion. The design of the field is subordinate to the medallion, so that the medallion seems to float on the field.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\n The background of this US Import China rug is beige yellow.

For our high-quality China rugs, the wool is obtained by gently shearing live sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. The knot density is relatively low – as is typical of Chinese rugs – and the pile is left long. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e \n The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this US Import China rug is made of new wool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254700421213,"sku":"18840","price":749.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18840_gesamt_671e8bea-25ef-436e-a525-5292bb124c6d.jpg?v=1586906888"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-420-x-320-14483","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 420 x 320 cm | Nr. 14483","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old re-import Sarough, all-over patterned in rust red with a central medallion and border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e420 cm x 320 cm (= 13.44 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (natural colours)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e160.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eRust red, Dark blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628911489117.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628911489117.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug comes from Sarough (also spelled Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

Dyeing with natural or plant-based dyes is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that isn't too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dye per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is just as time-consuming and labour-intensive. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours lets the high-quality wool keep its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours creates fascinating, shifting patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this Re-Import Sarough are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254742069341,"sku":"14483","price":7920.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/14483_gesamt_3edf3557-e022-4b92-9fe9-10ce522fea45.jpg?v=1586907724"},{"product_id":"alter-keshan-teppich-360-x-270-9170","title":"Old Keshan | 360 x 270 cm | Nr. 9170","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Keshan, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e360 cm x 270 cm (= 9.72 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: kurk wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e7mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, dark red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628912308317.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628912308317.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe central Persian city of Keshan (also Kashan or Keschan) lies between the slopes of the Zagros Mountains and the Persian desert regions. Thanks to its climate and the caravans that crossed the country, it was – at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan – a flourishing metropolis, known above all for its fabric and rug production. To this day it is marked by the elegance and splendour of that era. Keshan rugs are artful textiles made in an age-old tradition. Production in Keshan traditionally took place in the weavers' own homes. The pile is typically knotted from extremely soft wool, which makes it particularly dense and compact.

The weft and warp threads of this Keshan are cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it ideally suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254743019613,"sku":"9170","price":8900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/9170_gesamt_c2c414e2-d29d-417f-9773-55a0fe91f43b.jpg?v=1586907771"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-75-x-60-17662","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 75 x 60 cm | Nr. 17662","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Re-Import Sarough, rust red with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e75 cm x 60 cm (= 0.45 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (hand-spun, natural dyes)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e250.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eRust red, Beige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628913979485.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628913979485.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug comes from Sarough (also spelled Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

On this piece, fringes were knotted on later and wrapped with woollen yarn to replace the edge, because the rug was shortened symmetrically at both ends. It was hand-knotted around 1920. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. That is why it is – despite its age – in very good condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe technique used to make the materials for the pile of this Re-Import Sarough is more than 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant colours is more involved, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical colours. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, it even takes two kilograms of weld dyestuff per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is time-consuming and labour-intensive too. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still master spinning wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: because it is dyed with natural colours, the high-quality wool keeps its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shifting patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but also in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this Re-Import Sarough are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254749114461,"sku":"17662","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17662_gesamt_d81229a3-2e11-4525-a92d-329286d53936.jpg?v=1586907895"},{"product_id":"alter-bidjar-teppich-80-x-62-18790","title":"Old Bijar | 80 x 62 cm | Nr. 18790","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Bijar, beige with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e80 cm x 62 cm (= 0.50 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e300.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e7mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eBeige, Dark blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628916502621.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628916502621.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug was knotted in Bijar, in the province of Kermanshah in north-western Iran.

New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps to regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Bijar are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254757437533,"sku":"18790","price":549.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18790_gesamt_342378c5-862f-4807-8957-ca70354ee9df.jpg?v=1586908099"},{"product_id":"alter-nain-teppich-86-x-68-9603","title":"Old Nain | 86 x 68 cm | Nr. 9603","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Nain, light blue with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e86 cm x 68 cm (= 0.58 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: kurk wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e700.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1930\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eLight blue, dark red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628917518429.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628917518429.usdz\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNain is one of the best-known rug provenances (source, origin) in Iran. The town of Nain lies north-west of Isfahan and has a long weaving tradition. Before the Qajar dynasty (1794 - 1925), the finest cloaks for noblemen – known as abas – were made here. Under the influence of Western culture, the traditional cloak was displaced as clothing by the suit. The weavers shifted their business and began knotting rugs. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe rugs from Nain owe their unmistakable patterns and colour combinations above all to the master weaver Hadj Fatollah Habibian Naiini. He limited himself to fewer than ten colours at the loom and so laid the foundation for the colour composition of the Nain rugs that are still so popular today. To this day the base colours are usually white or beige and blue, although Nain rugs in red, green and yellow are appearing more and more often. Floral patterns whose contours are accentuated with silk are typical. Thanks to their understated elegance and restraint to just a few shades, Nain rugs also sit beautifully in modern interiors. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eNain rugs are divided into four quality grades, which are given in Lah (the Persian word for layer). Lah describes the number of threads twisted together to form the warp. The more threads are used, the thicker the warp and therefore the knots, and the lower the knot density. This old Nain is around 90 years old and a true collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Nain are elegant and full of variety.

Kerman sits on the old caravan routes and has a centuries-old tradition both in craftsmanship and in trade. Kerman is mentioned in Marco Polo's travel account Il Milione. Rugs from Kerman are characterised by fine patterns, winding lines and soft colour gradations. The classical patterns of the 19th century are often figurative. Hunting scenes and animals were depicted, as were mythological figures and historical personalities. The broad colour palette of Kerman rugs is enriched above all by a wealth of red shades, traditionally obtained from the cochineal scale insect.  This old Kerman is around 100 years old and a true collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e   The edge of the rug is framed by a surround (border).

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254763827293,"sku":"6312","price":1720.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/6312_gesamt_34a9948e-b61d-4534-b5a8-237acab936c4.jpg?v=1586908296"},{"product_id":"alter-bidjar-teppich-100-x-64-17509","title":"Old Bijar | 100 x 64 cm | Nr. 17509","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeometric old Bijar\u003c\/strong\u003e, dark blue with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e100 cm x 64 cm (= 0.64 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e160.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1940\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, blue-grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628919615581.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628919615581.usdz\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug was hand-knotted in Bijar, a town in the province of Kermanshah in north-western Iran.

Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e Especially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e A special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety. The graceful plant symbols, depicting blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The recurring pattern (known as a repeat pattern) flatters the design of the room and never steals attention from the furniture, the décor or the architectural elements. It settles beautifully into any setting and complements a room's furnishings in a subtle way. In this Re-Import Sarough, the repeating elements find their centre in the middle of the field, in the symmetrical medallion. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The decorated surround (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Re-Import Sarough is dusky pink.

The tradition was fostered by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844 he had the court workshops moved back from Cairo to Hereke. Hand-knotted Hereke silk rugs are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted at densities of up to 6 million knots per m². Thanks to the knotting technique, incidentally, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as it is on the front. At renowned art auction houses, antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs on Hereke rugs are flowers, branches and leaves as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab pattern, a prayer niche depicted together with oil lamps. Alongside traditional motifs and typically Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today also knotted with more modern designs suited to contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a luminous yellow and various natural tones in every nuance.  This old Hereke is around 60 years old and a real collector's piece. This piece comes fitted with rings, so it can just as easily be displayed on a wall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

It turns this Hereke into a true jewel and creates an atmosphere in the room that is cosy and at the same time highly 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. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied and therefore more intricate patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. In this Hereke even the foundation is made of pure silk. Thanks to the thin but hard-wearing material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting and therefore a particularly fine pattern are possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254831132765,"sku":"18837","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18837_gesamt_435bf758-679a-4ce2-88c3-8172a79e1a28.jpg?v=1586908786"},{"product_id":"antiker-us-import-china-teppich-150-x-95-8742","title":"Antique US import Chinese rug | 150 x 95 cm | Nr. 8742","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral antique US Import China rug, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e150 cm x 95 cm (= 1.43 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e120.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628934852701.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628934852701.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRugs were probably known in China very early on. The Mongol invasion around 1279 – the Mongols carried Central Asian rugs with them and used them as tents and saddlery – gave a boost to the local production that most likely already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 then awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China purely for export to Europe and North America. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special case are the so-called American China rugs, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours and patterns of American China rugs are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the US interior style of that period. Only a very few pieces ever found their way from the USA to Europe. That is why so-called American China rugs are especially rare here. This antique US Import China rug is a collector's piece. It is around 100 years old, and that alone makes it a truly special piece.

The refined arrangement of the decorative elements works especially well within the overall composition. The proportions are generous, and the floating arrangement gives them a modern feel. Typical motifs are dragons, vases and peonies on abstracted leaves and tendrils. The motifs often sit in medallions placed in the centre or in the corners. Along the edge you will frequently find geometric forms, above all interwoven swastikas. The motifs resemble those on Chinese porcelain made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small degree of technical variation in the making of classic China rugs is a sign of a strict tradition that follows set rules. Despite the fairly coarse execution, the pattern is worked with exceptional precision.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The background of this US Import China rug is dark blue.

Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 80 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchy, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254980456541,"sku":"5460","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/5460_gesamt_14428df1-c5ab-4eb0-94c0-4c0b6c31db9d.jpg?v=1586909474"},{"product_id":"antiker-us-import-china-teppich-150-x-94-20059","title":"Antique US import Chinese rug | 150 x 94 cm | Nr. 20059","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral antique US Import China rug, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e150 cm x 94 cm (= 1.41 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool (hand-spun, natural dyes)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e60.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1930\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628942717021.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628942717021.usdz\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRugs were in all likelihood known in China very early on. The Mongol invasion around 1279, which brought Central Asian rugs into the country that were used as tents and saddle gear, gave a boost to the local production that probably already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in 1903 awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China solely for export to Europe and North America. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eA special case are the so-called American China rugs, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours and patterns of American China rugs are more restrained than those of traditional China rugs and were adapted to the US interior style of that period. Only a very few pieces ever found their way from the USA to Europe. That is why so-called American China rugs are especially rare here. This antique US Import China rug is a collector's piece. It is around 90 years old, and that alone makes it a truly special piece. Antique rugs like this US Import China rug are as sought after as ever and fetch top prices at renowned auction houses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The edge of the rug is framed by a surround (border). The border forms a splendid contrast to the centre. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eAt the heart of the central field of this US Import China rug lies the symmetrical centre, also known as the medallion. The design of the field is subordinate to the medallion, so that the medallion seems to float on the field. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe colouring of this China rug is artful – even though it is pared back to just a few shades. The refined arrangement of the decorative elements works especially well within the overall composition. The proportions are generous, and the floating arrangement gives them a modern feel. Typical motifs are dragons, vases and peonies on abstracted leaves and tendrils. The motifs often sit in medallions placed in the centre or in the corners. Along the edge you will frequently find geometric forms, above all interwoven swastikas. The motifs resemble those on Chinese porcelain made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The small degree of technical variation in the making of classic China rugs is a sign of a strict tradition that follows set rules. Despite the fairly coarse execution, the pattern is worked with exceptional precision. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe background of this US Import China rug is dark blue.

The wool was dyed with natural colours and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based colours is more complicated, more expensive and more time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a luminous red, for example, you need around one kilo of ground madder root as dyestuff per kilo of wool. For a strong yellow that is not too pale, you even need two kilograms of the dyestuff weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is likewise time-consuming and labour-intensive. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eBut the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural lanolin content. Wool dyed with natural colours and spun by hand produces fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this US Import China rug are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254985175133,"sku":"20059","price":1790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/8767-2_gesamt_c4922bc4-2a5b-4378-b0a8-d68bdedce139.jpg?v=1586909571"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-mit-goldfaden-teppich-154-x-98-18683","title":"Old Hereke in pure silk with gold threads | 154 x 98 cm | Nr. 18683","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Hereke in pure silk with gold threads, olive green with an all-over pattern, central medallion and border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTurkey\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e154 cm x 98 cm (= 1.51 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: pure silk with gold threads\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1.000.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOlive green, gold beige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628945666141.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628945666141.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVery valuable silk rugs come from the Turkish town of Hereke. The tradition was fostered by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844 he had the court workshops moved back from Cairo to Hereke. Hand-knotted Hereke silk rugs are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted at densities of up to 6 million knots per m². Thanks to the knotting technique, incidentally, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as it is on the front. At renowned art auction houses, antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs on Hereke rugs are flowers, twigs and leaves as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab pattern, a prayer niche shown together with oil lamps. Alongside traditional motifs and typically Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today also knotted with more modern designs suited to contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a luminous yellow and various natural tones in every shade.  This old Hereke is around 100 years old and a true collector's piece. The pattern of this refined Hereke is accentuated by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast and — depending on how the light falls — make the colours glow in warm shades. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with, and they underline the craftsmanship of the weavers.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

It turns this Hereke 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 allows smaller rug knots to be tied and therefore finer patterns to be created. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe pattern of this noble Hereke is also accented by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with, and they underline the craftsmanship of the weavers.  In this Hereke even the foundation is made of pure silk. Thanks to the thin but hard-wearing material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting — and therefore a particularly fine pattern — is possible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254996021341,"sku":"18683","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18683_gesamt_e45871b9-1736-4b53-b0da-3ca0c63451dd.jpg?v=1586909789"},{"product_id":"alter-schirwan-teppich-145-x-110-9125","title":"Old Shirvan | 145 x 110 cm | Nr. 9125","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric old Shirvan, rust red with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRussia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e145 cm x 110 cm (= 1.60 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e160.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1940\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eRust red, light blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628946354269.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628946354269.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShirvan (also Schirwan) rugs are knotted by hand in the eastern Caucasus, in the Shirvan region. Shirvan rugs are knotted from exceptionally fine wool and have a low pile. Old Shirvans are greatly valued and highly rated among collectors in Europe. They not infrequently reach a knot count of up to 300,000 knots per m². \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe wide border is characteristic of Shirvan rugs. One broad main stripe is framed by 2 – 6 guard stripes. The field is often governed by imaginative geometric patterns. In terms of colour, these rugs are frequently knotted in blue, but also in red and ivory. The many-coloured patterns result in a subtle and varied palette.

Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nEspecially sought after by collectors are the old and antique rugs of the Mahal and Malayer types that were knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nA special chapter in Iranian rug knotting is written by the so-called American Sarouks, which were knotted between 1900 and 1940 specifically for the American market. The colours of the American Sarouks are pared down to rust, red, blue and a few brown and beige tones, and they carry a floral pattern that usually does without a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well and were re-imported there. Hence the name. Only a very few pieces found their way from Iran to Europe. That is what makes the pieces first re-imported into Iran so rare. This old Re-Import Sarough is around 100 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Re-Import Sarough are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

Kelims (also Kilim, Qilim) were traditionally made only for the weavers' own use. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their Kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. Because Kelims were constant companions in everyday life, their patterns – however naive they may look – always carry a personal message and hold meaning for the weavers and their families.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nIn Europe, Kelims from Turkey, the Caucasus region, Iran, Afghanistan and the Turkmen cultural area are especially well known and loved. In fact, rugs are hand-woven in every country where rugs are knotted.\n This old Kelim is around 80 years old and a real collector's piece.

Kelims show the same pattern on both sides and can therefore be used either way up. The pattern is created by the coloured weft threads woven into the warp threads. For every new colour, a new thread has to be used in each row. The thread ends are worked in as the weaving goes along.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe weft threads of this Kelim rug are made of hand-spun sheep's wool dyed with plant dyes. Before the rug was woven, the sheep were first shorn and the wool was then cleaned, combed and finally spun. After spinning, the wool for Kelim rugs is dyed with natural colours in an elaborate process. Because of this traditional method, the pile of Kelim rugs feels dry and slightly furry. The warp threads of this Kelim are made of wool. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255015321693,"sku":"9484","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/9484_gesamt.jpg?v=1586910229"},{"product_id":"alter-kelim-teppich-354-x-200-13387","title":"Old Kelim | 354 x 200 cm | Nr. 13387","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Kelim, light green with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTurkey\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e354 cm x 200 cm (= 7.08 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-woven\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWeft (pile): wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarp: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eLight green, dark green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628951760989.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628951760989.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBright colours and simple, geometric patterns – that is what makes Kelims loved the world over. Kelims (also Kilim, Qilim) were traditionally made only for the weavers' own use. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their Kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. Because Kelims were constant companions in everyday life, their patterns – however naive they may look – always carry a personal message and hold meaning for the weavers and their families.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nIn Europe, Kelims from Turkey, the Caucasus region, Iran, Afghanistan and the Turkmen cultural area are especially well known and loved.

The Turkmen are known above all for their Buchara rugs. Buchara (sometimes also spelled Bochara) is an oasis city in Uzbekistan that lies on the former Silk Road. Although no rugs were ever knotted in Buchara itself, the city gave its name to many Oriental rugs, because they were traditionally exported to the West from Buchara. The rugs themselves, though, were knotted by Turkmen tribes such as the Yomoudh or the Tekke.

New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep.

Thanks to its climate and the caravans that crossed the country, it was – at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan – a flourishing metropolis, known above all for its fabric and rug production. To this day it is marked by the elegance and splendour of that era. Keshan rugs are artful textiles made in an age-old tradition. Production in Keshan traditionally took place in the weavers' own homes. The pile is typically knotted from extremely soft wool, which makes it particularly dense and compact.  This old Keshan is around 80 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lush floral motifs of this Keshan are elegant and full of variety.

Although no rugs were ever knotted in Buchara itself, the city gave its name to many Oriental rugs, because they were traditionally exported to the West from Buchara. The rugs themselves, though, were knotted by Turkmen tribes such as the Yomoudh or the Tekke.

The \"i\" in the name Afshari corresponds to our preposition \"of\". Afshari therefore means a rug of the Afshar. The Persian Afshar originally lived in the north-west of Iran, on the Afghan border. Part of the tribe was forcibly resettled to the south-east of Iran, near the city of Kerman, which lies on the Silk Road. There, rug knotting became an important source of income for the Afshar. Ever since the resettlement, the Afshar have also been known for their distinctive hand-knotted Afshar rugs. Their rugs are sometimes traded as Sirdjan rugs as well. The rugs have red and blue tones and mostly geometric patterns. The most widespread pattern has a field in the centre holding one or more square rosettes. This central field is thought to represent a stretched animal hide. This old Afshari is around 80 years old and a true collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The abstract, geometric composition is what gives this Afshari its understated elegance.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255094620253,"sku":"4323","price":2900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/4323_gesamt_5aaaaea6-04b9-42ba-a8fd-3e12769a7a5d.jpg?v=1586911930"},{"product_id":"alter-sarough-teppich-200-x-120-9146","title":"Old Sarough | 200 x 120 cm | Nr. 9146","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Sarough, dark blue with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e200 cm x 120 cm (= 2.40 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e360.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1940\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628972273757.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628972273757.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis rug comes from Sarough (also Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of Iran's best-known rug-knotting regions. Located in the west Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of every kind are knotted, in part also to the specifications of the customer. Especially popular are the neighbouring Farahan designs, the region's own Sultanabad patterns and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this class of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high. This old Sarough is around 80 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Sarough are elegant and wonderfully varied.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic and therefore particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255098716253,"sku":"12520","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/12520_gesamt_11c36531-37e2-4284-8938-3c5ccf9290b9.jpg?v=1586912074"},{"product_id":"alter-bidgene-teppich-200-x-125-17357","title":"Old Bidgene | 200 x 125 cm | Nr. 17357","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Bidgene, dark blue with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e200 cm x 125 cm (= 2.50 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e120.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1930\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDark blue, olive green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628974141533.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628974141533.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe rug provenance Bidgene lies in the province of South Azerbaijan in the north-west of Iran. Rugs from Bidgene resemble Sarough rugs and are often mistaken for Saroughs. There are, however, a few differences: Bidgene rugs tend to have a stiffer, rather board-like handle. The colouring is darker, too. Alongside their dark, calm palette, rugs from Bidgene are distinguished by the four-fold symmetrical arrangement of their geometricised floral pattern.  This old Bidgene is around 90 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Bidgene are elegant and full of variety.

Sarough is one of Iran's best-known rug-knotting regions. Located in the west Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of every kind are knotted, in part also to the specifications of the customer. Especially popular are the neighbouring Farahan designs, the region's own Sultanabad patterns and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this class of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high. This old Sarough is around 80 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Sarough are elegant and wonderfully varied.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic and therefore particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255103008861,"sku":"8373","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/8373_gesamt_044be3ef-8d3b-478b-8040-daf9bbefd590.jpg?v=1586912164"},{"product_id":"alter-keshan-teppich-205-x-136-14040","title":"Old Keshan | 205 x 136 cm | Nr. 14040","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Keshan, light red with border, paradise garden pattern and motif\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e205 cm x 136 cm (= 2.79 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e360.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1940\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eLight red, dark blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628975190109.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628975190109.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe central Persian city of Keshan (also Kashan or Keschan) lies geographically between the slopes of the Zagros Mountains and the Persian desert regions. Thanks to its climate and the caravans that passed through the country, it was – at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan – a flourishing metropolis, known above all for its textile and rug production. To this day it is shaped by the elegance and splendour of that era. Keshan rugs are artful textiles made in an ancient tradition. Production in Keshan traditionally took place in the homes of the knotters themselves. The pile is typically knotted from exceptionally soft wool, which makes it particularly dense and compact.  This old Keshan is around 80 years old and a true collector's piece. A beautiful, peaceful landscape full of animal life adorns this rug. A lake where fish and birds feel at home, with a large tree\/wooden trellis beside it bearing many flowers. A large flowering vine winds its way out of the colourful, hilly ground from the right up into the top left corner, with dove-like birds flying at its centre. This motif is the perfect contrast to the red background. The border, too, is decorated with various animals and flowers. A truly extraordinary piece!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis Keshan is adorned with a wonderful paradise garden motif. The paradise garden motif is typical of the Safavid era. Paradise garden rugs bear a stylised, geometric depiction of a traditional Persian garden with delicate plants and trees. The Greek word \"paradeisos\" goes back to the Middle Persian word \"pardēs\". Originally the term referred to the Persian royal gardens, and only in a biblical context did it take on the connotation of the garden of God. The fertile, artfully laid-out royal gardens were home to a wide variety of exotic plants and animals. They were enclosed by a wall, symbolising the separation between heaven and earth. Traditional Persian paradise gardens were rectangular, with a river or other body of water running from north to south and from east to west, forming a cross that divides the garden into four sections. In rugs depicting paradise gardens, too, the portrayal of water – so precious in arid regions – plays an outstanding role.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Keshan is light red.

The city of Qom (also Ghom, Gom, Ghoum) lies in the centre of Iran, about 100 km south of the capital, Tehran. Since Qom – as far as rug knotting is concerned – had no long-standing tradition to build on, patterns were and still are adopted from other knotting regions. Over time, however, a style of its own has grown out of this. Today the silk rugs from Qom are among the most famous and finest rugs in the world. The field of rugs from Qom often has a light ground decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase designs. This old Qom is around 70 years old and a true collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Qom are elegant and wonderfully varied.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suited to a hard-wearing foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255108448349,"sku":"20060","price":990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/gesamt_42279da3-4122-4c8b-aa81-9ad6dcf0d51c.jpg?v=1620136738"},{"product_id":"alter-ghom-teppich-226-x-137-15696","title":"Old Qom | 226 x 137 cm | Nr. 15696","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric old Qom, blue-grey with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e226 cm x 137 cm (= 3.10 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e300.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eBlue-grey, olive green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628976926813.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628976926813.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Qom is a comparatively young provenance for Persian rugs. The city of Qom (also Ghom, Gom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in central Iran, roughly 100 km south of the capital Tehran. As Qom had no long knotting tradition of its own to build on, patterns from other weaving regions were adopted there – and still are. Over time, though, a distinct style of its own has grown out of that. Today the silk rugs from Qom are among the most celebrated and finest rugs in the world. The field of Qom rugs is often light in ground and decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase designs. This old Qom is around 70 years old and a true collector's piece. Strikingly different and strictly geometric, this is a genuine Persian. Stars appear again and again in the border as well as in the main field and the medallion, in various forms and colours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The abstract, geometric composition is what gives this Qom its quiet elegance.

Because demand was so strong, the local workshops leaned more and more on the patterns and colours of Kerman rugs, so that Yazd and Kerman rugs can be hard to tell apart today. Matters are complicated further by the fact that rugs with Keshan patterns were also made in Yazd.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255114707037,"sku":"11075","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/11075_gesamt_6dd66b62-0643-4a7f-894b-ecca5ba3e1c9.jpg?v=1586912559"},{"product_id":"alter-gabbeh-teppich-326-x-222-17529","title":"Old Gabbeh | 326 x 222 cm | Nr. 17529","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric old Gabbeh, rust red with border, medallion and motif\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePersia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e326 cm x 222 cm (= 7.24 m²)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePile: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026amp; Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003eknots per m²\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e120.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003ePile height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1960\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eRust red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eone-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628983054429.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628983054429.usdz\" href=\"\" id=\"ar-link\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"AR-Symbol\" class=\"ar-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/files\/ar_active.png\" width=\"450px\"\/\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"ar-button\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGabbeh rugs are knotted by nomads who live in the province of Fars, near the city of Shiraz. In Persian, Gabbeh is the name for high-pile rugs that were slept on. Classic Gabbehs have imaginative, naïve geometric patterns and are full of colour. Modern Gabbehs today mostly come in plain and monochrome designs. Even now, though, you will also find stylised motifs from the nomads' everyday life in the rugs, such as goats, camels, dogs, plants or people. Gabbeh rugs usually come in natural cream, brown and grey tones, but lively yellow, red or blue can be found as well. This old Gabbeh is around 60 years old and a real collector's piece.

The hand-spun wool gives the rugs a grainy yet soft surface. Traditionally, Gabbeh rugs were used for sleeping. They invite you to sit and lounge about in the living room, but they are also excellent for hallways and dining areas.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nHand-spun wool is always a little irregular. During dyeing, the natural dyes are absorbed to differing degrees. The rug looks livelier for it, with so-called abrash, colour shifts between lighter and darker shades. These changes in the shade of the pile yarn always run across the length of the Gabbeh and make the rug forgiving of dirt. The weft and warp threads of this Gabbeh are made of cotton.

The Mongol invasion around 1279 — the Mongols brought Central Asian rugs with them and used them as tents and saddlery — gave a boost to the local production that probably already existed in China at the time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in  1903 awakened interest in Chinese rugs in the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were being made in China purely for export to Europe and North America.

Kelims (also Kilim, Qilim) were traditionally made only for the weavers' own use. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their Kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. Because Kelims were constant companions in everyday life, their patterns – however naive they may look – always carry a personal message and hold meaning for the weavers and their families.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nIn Europe, Kelims from Turkey, the Caucasus region, Iran, Afghanistan and the Turkmen cultural area are especially well known and loved.

Kelims show the same pattern on both sides and can therefore be used either way up. The pattern is created by the coloured weft threads woven into the warp threads. For every new colour, a new thread has to be used in each row. The thread ends are worked in as the weaving goes along.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe weft threads of this Kelim rug are hand-spun sheep's wool dyed with plant colours.

Kelims (also Kilim, Qilim) were traditionally made only for the weavers' own use. Nomads and farmers used, and still use, their Kelims as rugs on the floor, but also as tent or wall hangings, blankets, cushions or bags. Because Kelims were constant companions in everyday life, their patterns – however naive they may look – always carry a personal message and hold meaning for the weavers and their families.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nIn Europe, Kelims from Turkey, the Caucasus region, Iran, Afghanistan and the Turkmen cultural area are especially well known and loved.

A diamond is a rhombus standing on one of its points, and in the Oriental rug its four equal sides can be serrated, stepped or set with hooks. The diamond is one of the oldest basic forms in the Oriental rug. In the Islamic world it carries a symbolic meaning: it stands for the immortality of the soul.

Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps to regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Bijar are made of cotton.
