Old Turkish Oriental Rug
This one-of-a-kind piece in pink brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With approx. 120,000 knots per m², the workmanship is correspondingly painstaking, as you can see in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. Its 158 × 100 cm make it a rug for the bedroom or study. It also looks at home in a small living room. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture give any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with a character of its own and lasting value.

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 pile of this Old Turkish Oriental rug was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a range of impressive properties: thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, 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 foundation (weft and warp threads) of this Old Turkish Oriental rug is made of new wool.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this Old Turkish Oriental rug. It had owners before you who valued it and lived with it. It was knotted around 1920. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The pile has become a little thinner over the years. On one side, about 4cm of the border is missing. The rug's fringes are damaged in places and could do with a repair. We have not restored this Old Turkish Oriental rug, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If that is what you would like, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this Old Turkish Oriental rug will give you pleasure for decades to come.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
