Goltogh

This one-of-a-kind piece in rust red brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 200,000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine execution of the details. At 290 × 52 cm it works well as a runner or hallway rug. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture lend any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a piece of furnishing – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

Goltogh (also Gholtogh, Goltog, Gholtog, Gholtug) rugs are knotted by settled Kurds. In quality and texture they are close to the Bijar. Their firm, hard handle comes – just as with the Bijar – from the special foundation weave. The cotton warp is stretched very tightly. The weft is beaten down extremely firmly. The knotting is done with the Turkish knot.

Goltogh rugs are usually held in dark colours. Almost always a slender hexagon dominates the central field, its points at the top and bottom sometimes broken up by floral ornament. The filling motifs – blossoms, leaves and occasionally animals – are strongly stylised.

Material

The pile of this Goltogh was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, has a balancing effect on the indoor climate and absorbs sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Goltogh are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation weave.
