Description

These rugs originate from the northwest region.

Silk and wool mix giving this carpet a wonderful sheen.

Key Characteristics


Design: The rug features a large, prominent central medallion, a signature design element of Middle Eastern carpets. The patterns are geometric and angular, with stylised floral motifs.


Colours: The palette prominently uses rich red/rust and dark blue/teal colours, with accents of ivory and green, which are typical hues derived from natural vegetable dyes in the region.


Material and Weave: Authentic rugs are hand-knotted, typically with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, using the symmetrical Turkish double knot. The wool from this region is renowned for its strength and resilience

Modern, machine-made copies exist, but this genuine hand-knotted rug will show slight irregularities in the knots and design when viewed from the back, and its fringe is an integral part of the rug's structure,
