Rugs up to 1,000 €

Up to €1,000 you'll find around 4,000 hand-knotted and hand-woven one-of-a-kind pieces with us. From about €500 the step up becomes visible: the rugs get bigger – 2 to 4 m² is typical, meaning sizes from 180 x 120 and 150 x 200 up to 170 x 240 cm – and so does the choice of runners is at its largest here. This budget will already stretch to a living-room rug from 200 x 300 cm. For rug sizes above 6m² such as 300 x 250 cm, things get rather tight, apart from around 80 exceptions.

Which rugs can you get for up to 1,000 euros?

If the living room rug is to be especially large and generous
in scale, it is worth allowing for a little more budget.

Between 500 and 1,000 euros, what most people are looking
for in a rug happens: the rug becomes big enough to carry a room.
Half the pieces in this segment are over two square metres, a
quarter over three. That puts you in formats a coffee table fits under,
that frame a bed or hold a dining area for two to four people
together.

On paper you pay around 300 euros per square
metre in this bracket – only a little more than in the class
including. That means: you are not primarily buying greater fineness, but more
surface area. If you would rather have a smaller but more finely knotted piece,
you will find that here too, simply in 120 x 180 cm instead of 170 x 240 cm.

With 600 runners is
this segment our largest selection for hallways, kitchens and bedside surrounds. Runners
are a special case in the pricing logic: they are long but narrow, and so add
up to few square metres with plenty of impact. If you have a long hallway, this is
the price bracket in which you will find what you are looking for.

In terms of material, hand-spun sheep's wool still dominates,
often dyed in natural colours – a good two thirds of the pieces in this segment carry
exactly this specification. Kazak
and Oxiana rugs bring bold patterns and muted natural tones, Lori and
Gabbeh pieces are more coarsely knotted, but thick and soft in return. Silk remains the
exception; where it does appear, it is usually an accent thread, not a silk pile.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about rugs up to 1,000 €

What is the difference between a rug at 500 and one at 1,000 euros?

In most cases: the area. With comparable knot density and wool quality, roughly double the price means double the size, from 150 x 100 cm up to 170 x 240 cm. Fineness and material quality only rise noticeably in the classes above.

Which sizes are realistic up to 1,000 euros?

The typical range in the 500 to 1,000 euro segment lies between 2 and 4 m². That means sizes such as 150 x 200 cm, 160 x 230 cm or 170 x 240 cm, up to 300 x 200 cm. Around 70 pieces reach 7.5 m².

Can I get a runner for the hallway for up to 1,000 euros?

Yes, and in the largest selection of any price range:
Around 250 runners fall between 500 and 1,000 euros. Common dimensions are 80 x 300
cm and 80 x 290 cm.

Which materials will you find in this price range?

Pile of sheep's wool, often hand-spun and dyed with natural colours, on a cotton warp and weft. Silk plays virtually no part here.

Are Kazak and Oxiana rugs up to 1,000 euros originals?

Yes. Kazak and Oxiana are new productions based on old designs, hand-knotted and made with plant-dyed wool. They are not antique, but genuine handwork – which is why they are possible in this price range at all.

Is the step up from 500 to 1,000 euros worth it?

If you need floor coverage, yes: under 500 euros there is virtually nothing above 4 m². If your room calls for a small format, put the budget into knot density and wool quality rather than into size.

How can I tell whether the price is fair?

Work out the price per m² and compare it with the knot density. In this class, 250 to 350 euros per m² at 120,000 to 200,000 knots per m² is the norm. If an offer sits well below that, it is worth asking about construction, material or indeed condition.
