Nepalese hand-knotted wool on cotton carpet, 160 × 160 cm, from the 21st century, in very good condition.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nepal carpets are hand-knotted one-of-a-kind pieces made from high-quality, often hand-spun Tibetan highland wool, renowned for their density, durability, and the use of traditional Tibetan knotting techniques. They are known for simple, modern designs with soft color transitions and are excellent for underfloor heating thanks to natural materials and the absence of glue.

Details in particular:

Knotting technique: application of the Tibetan knot, in which wool is wrapped around a rod. Often loops form that are later cut, producing a particularly dense and soft pile.

Material: Typically high-quality, long-staple Tibetan raw wool, which is very fatty (lanolin) and thus durable and dirt-repellent. They are often combined with silk blends or hemp (very strong).

Design & color: Mostly modern, restrained patterns, abstract designs or solid-color fields with borders. Popular colors are earth tones, beige, gray, blue, green, or terracotta.

Structure: The backing is not glued, making the carpet elastic, durable, and ideal for underfloor heating.

Manufacturing: Pure handcraft. Typical are slight irregularities that make each piece a unique item.

Nepal carpets are regarded as very easy to care for, durable (often several decades), and value-retaining.

Condition: The carpet is in very good condition, full pile, the sides and fringes are in original condition,
