AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
++++ Free EU shipping & Professionally cleaned ++++
-- "Antique rug full of stories - impressive and very well preserved"
-- Professionally cleaned*
-- approx. 160,000 knots per m²
-- With Certificate
*For entry into our warehouse, cleaned at a laundry specialized in hand-knotted carpets, then never used again.
This is a hand-knotted Oriental rug, made from durable, natural materials. The way it is knotted and the diversity of patterns make this rug unique and emphasize its authentic and artisanal character. It is an excellent utility rug with an extremely long lifespan.
Special Afghan, hand-knotted circa 1940 somewhere around Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. The knotting technique and color usage of this particular rug are somewhat more Afghan, while the patterns and shapes resemble Turkmen rug designs. An impressive rug, exceptionally well preserved and full of stories. A wonderful piece of history, a rare rug that reflects the development of knotting art by showing how these rugs were made more than 80 years ago. A tale of roaming freely and gaining inspiration from other sources—even if they came from another country. Fully open to personal interpretation.
Additionally, this rug showcases the beauty of craftsmanship: nothing is perfect. Some irregularities in shape and imperfections in patterns contribute to the authentic character and tell stories.
Note: with its long fringe, this rug is 230 cm long!
Main color: Red
Accent colors: Cream and brown- and blue-toned hues
Special features: Rich abrash (natural color variations within the rug); Much flair; Beautiful clean and fresh; Gorgeous sheen; Antique & characterful; Very special object; Very well preserved.
