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.

New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep.

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

A key role in this was played by the English import house Messrs. Ziegler \u0026amp; Co. Ltd., run by a Swiss merchant, which opened a branch in Mahallat in 1883. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe rugs known as Farahan, Mahal, Ziegler-Mahal or simply Ziegler were knotted in the surrounding villages to Western colour and pattern specifications. This blend of European design briefs in a lighter, calmer palette with classic patterns in the style of Farahan and Sultanabad rugs was very well received in Europe. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe success was enormous, and Ziegler rugs became an international mark of quality. The exquisite flow of the many-petalled flowers is particularly impressive in Ziegler rugs. Well-preserved antique Ziegler rugs fetch record prices today – above all in the USA. For some years now, these antique Ziegler designs have been re-knotted in high quality in Pakistan and India. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe newly issued Ziegler rugs, made from hand-spun wool dyed with natural colours, are part of a revival of hand-knotted rugs. This return to traditional techniques began in the early 1980s, driven not least by the so-called DOBAG initiative. At first the reproductions focused on the Ziegler rugs described above. In time, almost every traditional Persian pattern was being reproduced. The result: adaptations of antique rugs alongside contemporary designs with the charm of an antique 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 decorated surround (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe lavish floral motifs of this Mahal are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

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 weld per kilo of wool. Spinning the wool is labour-intensive and time-consuming too. What is more, 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 that is naturally dyed and hand-spun produces fascinating patterns that shimmer and shift. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, unfolds as a contrast in modern interiors, but just as well in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style. The weft and warp threads of this Mahal are made of cotton. 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":32254663917661,"sku":"16059","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/16059_gesamt_bc147786-644c-47dc-b516-d60696ea32d2.jpg?v=1586905876"},{"product_id":"chinesischer-isfahan-teppich-358-x-257-13435","title":"Chinese Isfahan | 358 cm x 257 cm | Nr. 13435","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Chinese Isfahan, 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\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;\"\u003e358 cm x 257 cm (= 9.20 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;\"\u003e1980\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, 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\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628888453213.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628888453213.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 pattern of this rug takes its cue from the patterns of classic Isfahan rugs. This piece, however, was knotted in China. The city of Isfahan is one of the architectural gems of the Islamic world. It owes its artistic tradition, its historic townscape and its arguably unmatched architecture to the Safavid dynasty and to Shah Abbas in particular. Floral motifs are typical of Isfahan rug patterns. Designs with fourfold or lengthwise symmetry are widespread, with a medallion in the centre surrounded by arabesques, blossoms or birds. The ground colour is usually the classic red, and a luminous blue and a light beige are typical too. With more than 15 shades in most cases, though, the Isfahan is decidedly colourful. The borders are often green-blue and decorated with flowering tendrils and palmettes. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nIn Iran, the fineness of Isfahan knotting is stated in cheft. Cheft are fine, usually blue vertical lines along the lower end webs. The closer the lines, the finer the knotting.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTo this day, many Isfahan rugs carry a discreetly knotted inscription in Persian script along the lower edge, the so-called signature. It names the maker, the provenance Isfahan and often the country as well, either as the word Iran or as the Iranian national flag in green, white and red. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nRugs from the Seirafian workshop are especially sought after. The late master knotter Haj Agha Reza Seirafian lived from 1881 to 1975. Today he is known as the creator of the famous Seirafian rugs. Before he turned to rug production, Haj Agha Reza was a private banker in Isfahan. The Seirafian family still makes rugs from the templates and designs of Haj Agha Reza Seirafian today. An unusual touch on this piece is a horizontal band running through the centre, which seems to open up the delicate pattern.\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 ornate border forms a wonderful contrast with the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Isfahan are elegantly drawn and full of variety.

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 traditionally knotted by various Turkmen tribes, above all in the Caucasus, Persia and Afghanistan. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBecause Buchara rugs are among the finest and best-loved Central Asian rugs, their patterns have inspired weavers in Pakistan as well.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for 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":32254667980893,"sku":"13240","price":1990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/13240_gesamt_c130f80c-6847-457f-9a45-1d89a4b5d1d4.jpg?v=1586906038"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-367-x-318-10054","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 367 x 318 cm | Nr. 10054","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;\"\u003e367 cm x 318 cm (= 11.67 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;\"\u003e200.000\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;\"\u003eRust red, golden 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=\"4628888748125.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628888748125.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.

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":32254669258845,"sku":"17675","price":390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17675_gesamt_e4b20b77-6d4a-45dd-baad-8d5dfdf9fe18.jpg?v=1586906077"},{"product_id":"alter-yazd-teppich-145-x-74-7918","title":"Old Yazd | 145 x 74 cm | Nr. 7918","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Yazd, gold-beige with 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;\"\u003e145 cm x 74 cm (= 1.07 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;\"\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;\"\u003eGold-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=\"4628889960541.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628889960541.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;\"\u003eYazd (also spelled Yasd) lies in central Iran on the southern edge of the Dasht-e Kavir, the Great Salt Desert, and is the capital of the province of the same name in the south-east of the country. 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. Around 500,000 people live here today. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOriginally, Yazd rugs had a bluish pattern, which gradually faded as production grew. 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.

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. The graceful plant symbols, depicting blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined.\n\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.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e \n The decorated surround (border) forms a beautiful contrast to the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Re-Import Sarough is beige.

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":32254672011357,"sku":"10052","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/10052_gesamt_b96c1d7a-73b2-4737-88a1-dd5ed3044438.jpg?v=1586906154"},{"product_id":"alter-varamin-teppich-105-x-86-17526","title":"Old Varamin | 105 x 86 cm | Nr. 17526","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric old Varamin, 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\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;\"\u003e105 cm x 86 cm (= 0.90 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;\"\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;\"\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, rust 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=\"4628890320989.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628890320989.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;\"\u003eVaramin (also spelled Veramin) lies a good 50 km south-east of Iran's capital Tehran in the north of the country and was an important administrative centre in the days of Mongol rule. 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 old Varamin 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 abstract, geometric composition is what gives this Varamin its understated elegance.

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.

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":32254676893789,"sku":"3671","price":490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/3671_gesamt_6b418d5d-0cd7-4291-accf-067843d6a87a.jpg?v=1586906284"},{"product_id":"ghom-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-100-x-100-10083","title":"Qom in pure silk | 100 x 100 cm | Nr. 10083","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral, round Qom in pure silk, beige with medallion and signature\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;\"\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e100 cm (= 0.79 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: 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;\"\u003e810.000\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;\"\u003e2000\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, Terracotta\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=\"4628892057693.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628892057693.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 relatively young provenance for Persian rugs. The city of Qom (also Ghom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in the centre of Iran, about 100 km south of the capital, Tehran. Since Qom had no old knotting tradition of its own to build on, patterns were and still are adopted from other knotting regions. Over time, however, a distinctive style has grown out of this. The silk rugs from Qom are today 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 piece of true knotting artistry rightly bears the pride and the name of its knotter in the form of a signature, which translates as: \"Ghom Zargajon\".\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 piece, however, was knotted in China. The Turkish town of Hereke is home to very precious silk rugs. The tradition was encouraged 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 with a density 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 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 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 a range of natural tones in every shade.  \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.

The city of Qom (also Ghom, Gom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in the centre of Iran, about 100 km south of the capital Tehran. Since Qom had no long weaving tradition of its own to build on, patterns were, and still are, adopted from other knotting regions. Over time, however, a distinctive style has grown out of this. The silk rugs from Qom are today among the most famous and highest-quality 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 piece is a prayer rug, known in technical terms as a Sajodeh.\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 This Qom is graced by the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab motif.

This piece, however, was knotted in China. The Turkish town of Hereke is home to very precious silk rugs. The tradition was encouraged 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 with a density 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 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 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 a range of natural tones in every shade.  \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.

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":32254679253085,"sku":"10307","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/10307_gesamt_6a6dcd55-454b-4828-93f3-23a6d9375df3.jpg?v=1586906403"},{"product_id":"hereke-aus-reiner-seide-mit-goldfaden-teppich-116-x-74-18197","title":"Hereke in pure silk with gold threads | 116 x 74 cm | Nr. 18197","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Hereke in pure silk with gold threads, beige-yellow with border and signature\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;\"\u003e116 cm x 74 cm (= 0.86 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;\"\u003e990.000\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;\"\u003e2000\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, 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=\"4628893401181.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628893401181.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 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 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.  The pattern of this noble Hereke is accented by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast and make the colours glow in warm shades, depending on how the light falls. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with, and they underline the craftsmanship of the weavers.  A signature and flowers typical of Hereke adorn the silk weft and warp of this 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;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

The city of Qom (also Ghom, Gom, Qum) lies in central Iran, some 100 km south of the capital, Tehran. Since Qom had no long weaving tradition of its own to build on, patterns were — and still are — taken from other knotting regions. Over time, however, a distinctive 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 with all-over boteh or vase designs.  This piece of true knotting artistry rightly bears the pride and the name of its weaver in the form of a signature, which translates as: \"Qom Ahmadi\".\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.

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.

Kork wool, also called kurk wool, is a particularly fine-threaded knotting yarn with an almost velvety feel. It is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner legs of the sheep and is of especially high quality. The pattern of this Tabriz is picked out in lustrous pure silk, obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silk moth. The silk elements create a shimmering contrast and make the colours glow in different facets, depending on how the light falls. The weft and warp threads of this Tabriz are made of cotton. 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":32254681677917,"sku":"9111","price":1229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/9111_gesamt_ee92c942-2abe-4ca5-9aa9-ca71903b09c0.jpg?v=1586906500"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-121-x-64-11044","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 121 x 64 cm | Nr. 11044","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;\"\u003e121 cm x 64 cm (= 0.77 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;\"\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, 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=\"4628895006813.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628895006813.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.

It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was hand-knotted around 1920. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. One corner of this piece is damaged. The ends have been shortened on both sides and the fringes renewed. In places the pile is heavily worn and it also shows moth damage. We have not fully restored this Re-Import Sarough, because we feel it has a special presence exactly as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course gladly carry the restoration further for you.

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.

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 attuned to contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a glowing yellow and various natural tones in every nuance.  The pattern of this fine Hereke is accentuated by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast and make the colours glow in warm nuances, depending on how the light falls. 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 This Hereke is adorned with the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab motif. Mehrab is the name for the Islamic prayer niche in mosques, which marks the qibla, the direction of prayer towards Mecca. Rugs with the Mehrab motif are traditionally used by Muslims for prayer and are therefore especially treasured.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The ornate border forms a wonderful contrast with the centre and shapes the transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e   The background of this Hereke is gold-beige.

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 silk moth. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, they can be spun into very fine yarns that are light in weight yet still tear-resistant. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied, and with them more intricate patterns. 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.

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":32254687543389,"sku":"18282","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18282_gesamt_a7dc3b39-d69e-41ed-918a-13808f973dcd.jpg?v=1586906622"},{"product_id":"hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-112-x-75-18684","title":"Hereke in pure silk | 112 x 75 cm | Nr. 18684","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Hereke in pure silk, dusky pink with border, medallion and signature\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;\"\u003e112 cm x 75 cm (= 0.84 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;\"\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;\"\u003e1980\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;\"\u003eDusky pink, 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\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628896088157.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628896088157.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 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 attuned to contemporary taste. Typical colours for Hereke silk rugs are a deep dark blue, a radiant red, a lively green, a glowing yellow and various natural tones in every nuance.  An unusual signature, \"SAB 17\", graces this Turkish 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;\"\u003e The lavish floral motifs of this Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

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.

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.

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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254699241565,"sku":"18838","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18838_gesamt_eb49c078-34e6-4a5c-907d-f00e9c23fb9a.jpg?v=1586906846"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-120-x-77-18839","title":"Hereke in pure silk | 120 x 77 cm | Nr. 18839","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Hereke in pure silk, rust red with border and medallion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\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;\"\u003e120 cm x 77 cm (= 0.92 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\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\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;\"\u003e720.000\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;\"\u003e1980\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, cream white\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\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628899758173.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628899758173.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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today also knotted with more modern designs that suit 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 40 years old and a real collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\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 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.

Cork wool, also written kurk wool, is a particularly fine knotting yarn with an almost velvety feel. It is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner legs of the sheep and is of exceptionally high quality. The pattern of this Tabriz is picked out in lustrous pure silk, reeled by hand from the cocoons of the silk moth. The silk elements create a shimmering contrast and let the colours glow in different nuances, depending on how the light falls. The weft and warp threads of this Tabriz are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for 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":32254741938269,"sku":"15985","price":8590.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/15985_gesamt_23d007ae-f586-488b-8b46-9a717ae55106.jpg?v=1586907703"},{"product_id":"nain-teppich-444-x-307-17370","title":"Nain | 444 x 307 cm | Nr. 17370","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Nain, beige with border, medallion and signature\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;\"\u003e444 cm x 307 cm (= 13.63 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: kork wool with pure silk\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;\"\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;\"\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;\"\u003e1995\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=\"4628911456349.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628911456349.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 graded in four quality levels, expressed 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 piece of true knotting artistry rightly carries the pride and the name of its maker in the form of a signature, which translates as: \"Habibian\"\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.

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. The graceful plant symbols, depicting blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The edge of the rug is framed by a decorative border.

It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room. In this re-import Sarough the repeating elements find their centre in the middle of the field, with its symmetrical medallion.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e \n The background of this re-import Sarough is rust red.

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.

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 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.

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 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.  The pattern of this fine Hereke is accentuated by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast and make the colours glow in warm nuances, depending on how the light falls. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with, and they underline the craftsmanship of the knotters.  This piece bears a signature that translates as \"Hereke\", the place where this rug was made.\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 This Hereke is adorned with the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab motif.

It turns this Hereke into a true 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 silkworm. Because the individual silk filaments are extremely long, very fine yarns can be made that remain tear-resistant despite their light weight. 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.

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":32254762942557,"sku":"18421","price":1790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18421_gesamt_3e7805f5-9050-437c-b44b-b6703bff5805.jpg?v=1586908220"},{"product_id":"alter-kerman-teppich-85-x-65-6312","title":"Old Kerman | 85 x 65 cm | Nr. 6312","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOld Kerman, beige with motif 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;\"\u003e85 cm x 65 cm (= 0.55 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;\"\u003e800.000\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;\"\u003eBeige, light 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=\"4628918665309.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628918665309.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 city of Kerman (also Kirman) lies in the south-east of Persia at an altitude of around 2,000 metres. 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).

The population of the larger union state is predominantly Muslim and seeks independence. The hand-knotted rugs come exclusively from the Indian part of Kashmir and are knotted mainly in the provincial capital Srinagar and the surrounding area. Kashmir's silk rugs are famous, and they are usually made on a cotton foundation.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe colours of Kashmir rugs are rather restrained, and the patterns are influenced by traditional Persian designs. This goes back a long way, as the Mughal emperors (1526-1857) once brought Persian rug knotters to their court in India. That is why people also speak of the Indo-Persian style. Another legend, however, has it that in 1398 the tribute-paying Sultan of Kashmir had to send his son as a hostage to Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) in Samarkand. There the young prince came to know the craft of knotting and, on his return, introduced it in Kashmir together with knotters from Samarkand. \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 Kashmir rug are elegant and full of variety.

New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is thus naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Kashmir 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":32254768611421,"sku":"5942","price":330.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/5942_gesamt_86dc0b19-3ec5-4763-a10c-5d1b104d133f.jpg?v=1586908321"},{"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.

A small corner was shortened a little more, so the rug sits at a slight angle. We deliberately chose not to restore it completely, because we feel that its small flaws give it a special charm.

This piece, however, was knotted in China. The Turkish town of Hereke is home to very precious silk rugs. The tradition was encouraged 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 with a density 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 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 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 a range of natural tones in every shade.  \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":32254774902877,"sku":"16736","price":690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/16736_gesamt_91f49464-41c4-4f1c-a123-b17573bbb9be.jpg?v=1586908443"},{"product_id":"alter-tabriz-teppich-88-x-58-9903","title":"Tabriz | 88 x 58 cm | Nr. 9903","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Tabriz, black with medallion and border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\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;\"\u003e88 cm x 58 cm (= 0.51 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: kork wool with pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\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;\"\u003e490.000\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; text-align: left;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003enew\u003c\/span\u003e\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;\"\u003eBlack, dusky pink\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\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628921352285.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628921352285.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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe city of Tabriz (also Tabris) on the northern border of Persia has always been a melting pot of different ethnic and religious groups, thanks to its position at the crossroads of numerous caravan routes.

The pattern of this Tabriz is picked out in lustrous pure silk, obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silk moth. The silk elements create a shimmering contrast and make the colours glow in different facets, depending on how the light falls. The weft and warp threads of this Tabriz are made of cotton.

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 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.  The pattern of this fine Hereke is accentuated by the use of gold threads. The gold threads create a shimmering, lustrous contrast and make the colours glow in warm nuances, depending on how the light falls. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with, and they underline the craftsmanship of the knotters.  This piece bears a signature that translates as \"Hereke\", the place where this rug was made.\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. The graceful plant symbols, depicting blossoms, leaves and branches, are artfully intertwined.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  This Hereke is adorned with the so-called Mehrab or Mihrab motif. Mehrab is the name for the Islamic prayer niche in mosques, which marks the qibla, the direction of prayer towards Mecca. Rugs with the Mehrab motif are traditionally used by Muslims for prayer and are therefore especially treasured.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The edge of the rug is graced by a surround (border).

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":32254775427165,"sku":"16306","price":2490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/16306_gesamt_4ade28f4-baa1-43e7-bf75-d8a2bbc7a062.jpg?v=1586908492"},{"product_id":"alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-79-x-57-17660","title":"Old Re-Import Sarough | 79 x 57 cm | Nr. 17660","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Re-Import Sarough, dusky pink 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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\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;\"\u003e79 cm x 57 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\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\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;\"\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;\"\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;\"\u003eDusky pink, 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\n\u003ca data-android-model=\"4628921876573.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628921876573.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\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;\"\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. \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.

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":32254781390941,"sku":"17533","price":920.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17533_gesamt_5fd93a2a-e947-40f5-9011-12455fbbec1c.jpg?v=1586908677"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-93-x-61-18837","title":"Old Hereke in pure silk | 93 x 61 cm | Nr. 18837","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Hereke in pure silk, gold-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\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;\"\u003e93 cm x 61 cm (= 0.57 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;\"\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;\"\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;\"\u003eGold-beige, rust 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=\"4628925808733.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628925808733.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.

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.

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.

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 blue-grey.

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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254927568989,"sku":"17451","price":3980.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17451_gesamt_4e38f8a4-f21e-4618-a671-1bb5550af081.jpg?v=1586908954"},{"product_id":"ghom-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-155-x-108-15654","title":"Qom in pure silk | 155 x 108 cm | Nr. 15654","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Qom in pure silk, cream white 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;\"\u003e155 cm x 108 cm (= 1.67 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;\"\u003e810.000\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;\"\u003e1990\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;\"\u003eCream white, Light 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=\"4628932198493.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628932198493.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 relatively young provenance for Persian rugs. The city of Qom (also Gom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in central Iran, some 100 km south of the capital Tehran. As Qom had no long rug-knotting tradition to build on, patterns were and still are adopted from other weaving 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 Qom rugs is often light-ground and decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase designs.  Among collectors in particular, this piece is prized for its much-loved \"hunting motif\".

It turns this Qom 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, they can be spun into very fine yarns that are light in weight yet still tear-resistant. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied, and with them more intricate patterns. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. In this Qom even the foundation is made of pure silk.

New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive qualities: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound. The weft and warp threads of this Yazd 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":32254958370909,"sku":"7921","price":1490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/7921_gesamt_0d3c1900-06bc-4cf9-a9e2-07d3d8b8154e.jpg?v=1586909085"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-167-x-108-16612","title":"Hereke in pure silk | 167 x 108 cm | Nr. 16612","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral old Hereke in pure silk, dusky pink with border and signature\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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nTurkey\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;\"\u003e167 cm x 108 cm (= 1.8 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\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\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;\"\u003e560.000\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;\"\u003e1980\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;\"\u003eDusky pink, 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=\"4628933214301.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628933214301.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. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e Typical 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 40 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 Hereke are elegant and full of variety.

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.

The city of Qom (also Gom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in central Iran, some 100 km south of the capital Tehran. As Qom had no long rug-knotting tradition to build on, patterns were and still are adopted from other weaving 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 Qom rugs is often light-ground and decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase designs.  This old Qom is around 40 years old and a true collector's piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePattern\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The abstract, geometric composition is what gives this Qom its quiet elegance. The pattern flatters the way a room is put together and never steals attention from the furniture, the decoration and the architectural details. It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The edge of the rug is framed by a decorative border. The border forms a beautiful contrast with the centre.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The repeating elements in the central field of this Qom rug have no specific centre (what is known as a repeat pattern). The recurring pattern feels calming, yet never dull. Rugs with a repeat pattern are also described as all-over patterned.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The pattern of this Qom is adorned with wonderful paisley motifs. The paisley motif shows a leaf with a tapering, curved tip, rather like a large comma, and recalls the fish-bladder ornament of the Gothic period. Its origins lie with the Chaldeans, who evidently used the motif to depict the shoot of the date palm that was vital to their survival. The motif spread as far as the Celts, but there it was displaced once more by Greek and Roman ornament. Rug patterns containing paisley ornaments are also called boteh patterns, in Persian mir-e-butha or mir-i-bota.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Qom is cream white.

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\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254963908701,"sku":"13860","price":3690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/13860_gesamt_f7454150-d6b4-4ff2-b18f-636178049aed.jpg?v=1586909221"},{"product_id":"ghom-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-151-x-100-16925","title":"Qom in pure silk | 151 x 100 cm | Nr. 16925","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Qom in pure silk, light red with border, medallion and signature\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 \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;\"\u003e151 cm x 100 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\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e \u003cbr\/\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;\"\u003e1990\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, cream white\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=\"4628934099037.glb\" data-ios-model=\"4628934099037.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;\"\u003e Qom is a relatively young provenance for Persian rugs. The city of Qom (also Ghom, Ghoum, Goum) lies in central Iran, about 100 km south of the capital, Tehran. Because Qom had no old knotting tradition of its own to build on, its patterns were and still are adopted from other weaving regions. Over time, though, a style all of its own has grown out of this. The silk rugs from Qom are today among the most famous and finest rugs in the world. The field of Qom rugs is often light-ground, decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or all-over boteh or vase patterns. This piece of true knotting artistry rightly carries the pride and the name of its weaver in the form of a signature, which translates as: \"Qom Razavi\"\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.

It turns this Qom 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, they can be spun into very fine yarns that are light in weight yet still tear-resistant. Fine yarn allows smaller knots to be tied, and with them more intricate patterns. That is why the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted from pure silk. In this Qom even the foundation is made of pure silk.

Cotton consists of lustrous fibres filled with cell sap. When the cell sap dries after harvesting, the surface of the fibre buckles and loses its sheen through the resulting refraction of light. In the middle of the 19th century, John Mercer invented the process named after him, mercerisation (also spelled mercerization). During mercerisation the cotton is held under tension in cold, concentrated caustic soda and takes on a new, higher-grade fibre structure. Mercerised cotton has shortened fibres with a round cross-section. The refined fabric no longer shrinks and holds its shape very well. The altered refraction of light gives the fibre a silky sheen. Mercerised cotton also takes up dye more readily and is far more tear-resistant than untreated cotton. Because mercerisation is elaborate and costly, only high-quality cotton fibres are refined in this way. Thanks to the silky sheen of the yarn, mercerised cotton – like viscose – is often referred to as \"artificial silk\". The colloquial term \"artificial silk\" is not permitted, however, under the German Textile Labelling Act (TKG).  The weft and warp threads of this Kayseri are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchy, and therefore 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":32254964334685,"sku":"16834","price":1720.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/16834_gesamt_99f9e5ff-0a7c-4134-a817-196cb7b95cc2.jpg?v=1586909241"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/collections\/lauren-mancke-rm5DbquteoY-unsplash.jpg?v=1745583039","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en\/collections\/orientalcarpets.oembed?page=57","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
