Maschiny

This one-of-a-kind piece in light red combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 300,000 knots per m², the elaborate workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 160 × 81 cm, it works beautifully as a small living room 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 furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

This rug is one of the few machine-made rugs in our collection. Knotting and weaving rugs is an elaborate, time-consuming process. Making rugs by hand calls for a great deal of skill, time and care. Only in the 19th century, in the wake of the industrial revolution, did rug making gradually become mechanised. Wool could now be spun with motorised machines, and automated weaving and knotting looms made it possible to produce rugs quickly and cheaply.

Today's automated rug knotting and weaving looms work with a multitude of yarns that are unwound from spools and fed in. The desired pattern is set digitally beforehand. In this way rugs can be made by machine in next to no time. By hand, the work can take weeks, months or even years – depending on material, fineness and size. This naturally has a considerable effect on the price.

Material

The pile of this rug is 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 properties: thanks to the natural oil content of 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.

This rug is one of the few in our range made from a synthetic fibre. We added it to our selection because it is pre-owned. New rugs we produce exclusively from natural materials, apart from our PETra line, which is made from recycled PET bottles.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Maschiny. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 21. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
