Maschiny
This one-of-a-kind piece in grey and black-and-white combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. At 233 × 228 cm it works well as a square rug. It is shown off just as nicely beneath a seating group. The harmonious colouring and the distinctive texture give 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
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 Maschiny was made from cotton. The cotton plant is grown in most rug-producing countries and is therefore very popular for rug making.The weft and warp threads of this Maschiny are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and has some give, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this Maschiny. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. The rug has a few smaller stains. It was machine-made in around 2018. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. That is why – despite its age – it is in very good condition.
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.
