Which rugs can you get for up to 1,500 euros?
This class is the threshold at which two things
happen at once: the rug becomes room-filling, and it becomes finer. Up to
1,000 euros you are mainly buying surface area, from 1,000 euros fineness comes with it. In
practice that means: more cleanly drawn patterns, crisper outlines on
medallions and borders, a pile that feels denser.
For a living room with a sofa and coffee table you usually
need 200 x 300 cm, so that at least the front legs of the furniture stand on the
rug. That is exactly where this price class draws the line: just under 300
pieces below 1,500 euros reach that size, while well over 700 measure
at least 4 m² and thus fall in the 170 x 240 to 300 x 250 cm range. If your room
is larger, take a look at the class
from 1,500 euros is growing, with 1500 rugs there measuring 6 m² or more.
Typical of this bracket are Shiraz rugs from the south of
Iran, Kazak and Farahan or Ziegler, Kelims and new productions, as well as the first Mamlouk pieces
with their geometric star patterns. All three come with hand-spun
wool and natural dyes – the difference from the class below lies less in the
material than in knot count and the care of the design. Even Zomorrodi's own
modern creations, the Designer
rugs lines New Teheran, Reflection, Terra and Mood, are well within
budget in this price class, depending of course on the size.
An honest word on the subject of investment: a new,
hand-knotted rug in this price class is an everyday object with a
long life, not a financial investment. Any rise in value happens – if
at all – with old and antique pieces, and with very
fine silk rugs pieces, and even there only in very
good condition. What you can count on here: a rug that, with normal
care, lasts for decades and looks better doing it than on day one.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about rugs up to 1,500 €
A hand-knotted rug of typically 2.2 to 5 m² with a knot density of 160,000 to 250,000 knots per m². Shiraz, Kazak, Oxiana and Mamlouk are common here, all in hand-spun new wool
on a cotton warp.
Yes, though not yet with the full range to choose from. At least around 200 rugs under 1,500 euros reach 6 m² or more. So the choice is there, but limited; if colour and pattern matter to you, the class from 1,500 euros, with over 800 pieces in this size, gives you considerably more scope.
Usually 120,000 to 250,000. For context: 120,000 knots make a solid everyday rug with a clearly drawn pattern, while from 250,000 upwards very fine detail and flowing curves become possible.
Shiraz from southern Iran with dense geometric patterns, Kazak and Oxiana as new productions based on Caucasian and Persian models, Mamlouk with geometric star medallions, plus Lori and Gabbeh pieces with a thick, soft pile – and Kelim or designer rugs as well.
No, as a rule it isn't. It is a long-lasting everyday object. Rising values are a topic with old and antique rugs and with silk rugs in very good condition, not with newly knotted pieces. What you are left with is a rug that will last for decades.
Since fewer and fewer rugs are being made by hand and
this craft – like so many others – is sadly in decline, it is
not out of the question that the value will rise at some point. As an investment,
though, a rug should still not be bought. Instead it should be an
enrichment for your home and bring warmth & cosiness to
your own four walls.
Wool. In this class silk appears almost only as an accent thread, not as pile material. A rug made entirely of silk starts considerably higher. You will certainly also find some very hard-wearing rugs here in viscose or in a wool-viscose blend.
Decades, with normal use. Under the dining table, where chairs are dragged over the same spots again and again, a denser knotting pays off, as does turning the rug regularly so that the pile wears evenly.
