Description

Hand-knotted carpets are all oriental carpets. Oriental carpets stand for quality and originality. Every single hand-knotted carpet carries its own history and is absolutely unique. They were woven several centuries ago by nomads from sheep's or goat's wool. The nomads used the carpets as seats, wall hangings or in cold times also as blankets. The carpets coming from the orient have different patterns and colours depending on the country of origin. Each country has brought its own style. The most famous oriental carpets are the Persian carpets from today's Iran. The carpets are named after the city where they were woven. The most famous Persian carpets are as follows: Nain, Baluch, Gabbeh, Bakhtiar, Abidjan, Bidjar - Herati, Loori, Ghoum, Mir, Tabriz and Tehran. Indian oriental carpets are also among the most famous hand-knotted carpets. Knotted rugs of all kinds have been brought in by neighbouring countries. Currently, most carpets are still hand-knotted there and are comparatively cheaper than in other countries of origin. The production of carpets has travelled a lot around the world and became popular with the Indian people when they passed through in the 16th century. Not only beautiful carpets have remained in India, but also the art of knotting from all over the world, like the oriental carpet Mir offered here. Many types of carpets that are knotted in India are visually leaning heavily on Persian carpets. Another important note is that hand-knotted carpets are always special unique pieces. This means that slight variations in design, colour and size are possible. Carpetfine Rug Size: Runner 80 x 300cm
