AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

-- "Special & semi-antique Tibet, an impressive rug in beautiful condition"
-- Professioneel gereinigd*
-- ca. 160,000 knots per m²
-- Met Certificaat

*Voor binnenkomst in ons magazijn, gereinigd bij een wasserij gespecialiseerd in handgeknoopte kleden, daarna niet meer gebruikt.

This is a hand-knotted Oriental rug, made from durable natural materials. The method of knotting and diversity of patterns make this rug unique and emphasize its authentic and artisanal character.
It concerns an excellent used rug with an extremely long lifespan.

This is a lightly used, cleaned rug that can be laid down as-is. This beautiful Tibetan rug is hand-knotted circa 1960 with the finest, unbleached wool sourced from sheep in the high Tibet region. This wool is naturally extra greasy due to the cold temperatures (it acts as insulation for the sheep). When this wool is used in carpets it not only provides a beautiful, extra sheen but also serves as a natural protective layer. Higher-quality wool is (almost) hard to find. Naturally there are differences in color between pieces, caused by wool that is NOT bleached before the first dye bath. This gives the rug an authentic appearance and contributes to the character of this piece that is full of stories.

Hoofdkleur: Koraal/Rood
Accentkleuren: Crème en zwart
Bijzonderheden: Rijke abrash (onderling natuurlijke kleurverschillen); Veel vleug; Mooi schoon en fris; Vol, dik en dempend tapijt; Prachtige glans; Afhankelijk van de kijkhoek heeft dit kleed een lichter en een donker kant; Indrukwekkend kleed; Bijzonder object; Karaktervol; Semi-antiek.
Gebruikssporen: Minimaal plekje randschade, ondanks nog een indrukwekkend kleed in goede staat (foto 15).
