Origin

Koliai (also Koliajy, Koliahi, Koliay) rugs are rustic, hand-knotted rugs made by the Kurds of western Persia. Koliai have a relatively deep pile and a solid, voluminous weave using the Turkish knot, and some are knotted on a woollen foundation (weft and warp threads of wool).

When it comes to knotting rugs, the Kurds draw on all the classic provenances (source, origin). They don't copy the traditional patterns slavishly, though — they interpret them in their own way. The colouring in particular often differs considerably from the original patterns. Among Koliai rugs you will therefore find the most varied designs, but usually in a rather dark palette.

Material

The pile of this Koliai was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by shearing sheep gently. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive qualities: 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 weft and warp threads of this Koliai are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Koliai. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted in around 76. We have cleaned it thoroughly and lovingly restored it. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.
