From €1,500 our class of large and fine rugs begins: 3,000 pieces, with an average price of around €2,600. 1,500 of them measure 6 m² or more, that is 200 x 300 cm upwards, through to oversized formats of 29 m². This is also where you'll find the fine knotting from Nain, Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz, as well as a large selection silk rugs or with a silk content.

Which rugs can you get from 1,500 euros upwards?

Anyone shopping in this class is usually buying one of two things
– or both: size or fineness. Half of all rugs from 1,500 euros upwards
measure at least 6 m², a quarter come in above 7.8 m². These are the formats that
carry a whole living room, with sofa and armchairs standing fully on them
and that visually divide up an open living-dining area.

At the same time the knot density rises markedly. Alongside the
160,000- and 200,000-knot grades you will find pieces here with 250,000,
360,000 and more knots per m². You can see this fineness in the
details: flowing vines instead of stepped lines, fine blossoms in the borders,
medallions with cleanly drawn curves. A Nain
or Tabriz or a silk rug needs this density, because its pattern
does not work without it.

In this bracket silk becomes a real subject for the first time: More than 400 pieces
work with silk, either as a contour thread that lifts the pattern and shimmers in the
light, or entirely in silk. Silk rugs do not only belong on the
wall or in rooms that see little traffic. They are not quite as
hard-wearing as wool rugs, which without doubt remain the toughest rugs for
everyday life. But rugs knotted from silk or viscose are also
durable and will last - with the right care - for decades.

The span upwards is wide: up to 79,000 euros is the reach of our
selection, and at that level it is about old and antique
pieces, very fine signature rugs in silk and custom sizes.
If your room is not a standard size, or your expectations are not standard, this is
the class where you will find it – for oversized and special dimensions the
median price is around 3,500 euros.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about rugs from 1,500 €

What makes a rug from 1,500 euros more expensive than one at 1,000?

Two factors: area and knot density. Half of the rugs from 1,500 euros measure 6 m² or more – several times the size of the class below – and the knot count is often 250,000 knots per m² and above. Both mean directly more months of work at the loom.

Which sizes are available from 1,500 euros?

The typical range lies between 3.5 and 7.8 m², which corresponds to 200 x 250 cm up to 250 x 350 cm. 873 pieces measure 6 m² or more, and the largest in our range comes in at 29 m².

When does a rug become an investment?

Appreciation in value is a topic with old and antique rugs
in good condition, with rare provenances and with very fine silk rugs or signed pieces – not automatically above a certain price. With a newly knotted rug you pay for material and working hours, and that is a solid foundation, but not a return.

Since rugs are ever more rarely knotted by hand and this is sadly a shrinking craft, it is quite possible that the value of handmade rugs will rise at some point. Even so, the thought of a financial investment should not be uppermost when buying a rug. Far more, it should enrich your home and bring warmth and comfort to your own four walls.

What does a rug with silk cost?

More than 400 pieces from 1,500 euros upwards work with silk, usually as a contour thread in a wool rug. Pure silk rugs can be found in this price class as well. Larger pieces, however, lie considerably higher, because the working time there increases many times over.

What sets a Nain apart from a Ziegler or Mamlouk?

The Nain comes from central Iran, is very finely knotted and works with light base tones, blue medallions and often silk contours. The Ziegler is a new production following Persian models, with muted, washed-out colours and large-scale vine scrolls. The Mamlouk shows geometric star medallions in dense patterning after Egyptian examples.

Are there oversized rugs and custom sizes?

Yes. More than 350 rugs in our range are oversized or custom sizes, averaging around 3,500 euros. Formats up to 29 m² are in stock and ready to go. And of course anything larger, or any size not listed, can be made to order.

Can I see a rug in my own room before buying?

Yes, we have offered a home viewing service for decades, so you can see and experience the rugs at home, right where they will lie. In the Rhine-Ruhr region this is home turf for us and no trouble at all. But in fact we do not offer this service only in and around Düsseldorf.
For larger sums we will even arrange such an on-site appointment anywhere in Germany. In cases like these we are glad to come to you in Hamburg, Berlin, or to Bavaria or Stuttgart in southern Germany.

Just send us an email or give us a call: 0211 82 82 882.
