Origin

The pattern of this Oriental rug is inspired by classic Persian rug designs. This rug was knotted in Turkey.

This old Turkish Oriental rug is around 106 years old and a real collector's piece.

Material

The technique used to make the materials for the pile of this Old Turkish Oriental rug is more than 200 years old. The wool was dyed with natural dyes and spun by hand. Dyeing with natural or plant-based dyes 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 also time-consuming and labour-intensive. On top of that, fewer and fewer people still know how to spin wool by hand.

But the effort is worth it: dyeing with natural colours allows the high-quality wool to keep its natural oil content. Wool that has been dyed with natural colours and spun by hand creates fascinating, shimmering patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool, with its slight irregularities and natural shades, comes into its own as a contrast in modern interiors, but equally in rooms furnished in a more traditional or country style.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Old Turkish Oriental rug is made of new wool.

Condition

This Old Turkish Oriental rug has a story to tell. It was knotted around 106. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but only partly restored condition. The pile has grown a little thinner in places over the years. On closer inspection, a small piece of the border is also missing. We have not fully restored this Old Turkish Oriental rug, because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course happily restore the rug further for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
