Uniquely beautiful, detailed and stylish - What makes the oriental carpet so special.

The world of oriental carpets is impressively varied, extremely artistic and very colorful. Anyone looking for an original, hand-knotted carpet from the Orient quickly realizes that there is an almost limitless variety of designs from different areas of origin (provenances) to choose from. One can quickly lose the overview. To make the search for the right carpet easier, we have compiled some information here as a little help on what to look for in the selection.

Diverse and individual designs: the right carpet for every style and taste.

Oriental carpets are as different, individual and diverse as the nature, culture and way of life of the people in the various regions where the carpets are knotted. Accordingly, the selection is large and unique. Basically for every carpet purchase: What pleases, fits.

In addition to the comeback of the classically ornamented oriental carpet, which harmonizes well with simply elegant furnishings, Kelim in particular are currently very popular. These flatweaves from nomadic tradition delight with an ethnic look and geometric patterns that harmonize perfectly with modern furnishings and light wood.

In addition, modern patterns are fully in vogue, which are given that special something by so-called Abrash. Abrash refers to color variations that can occur for various reasons. Direct sunlight, for example, causes carpets to fade over time, giving them a unique vintage style. This effect is also artificially induced and makes carpets become casual design pieces. Also for the children's room are oriental carpets now very popular. The reason for this is not least the purely natural materials.

Antique carpets are also increasingly regaining popularity. The high quality virgin wool, handmade and dense knotting give an incredibly long life and robustness. Thus, even a copy aged for many years is still in ideal condition.

It's the quality that counts: Sustainable wool, natural colors and the best craftsmanship.

Genuine handmade oriental carpets are made of natural wool. Indeed, as a material, wool is very versatile. It is both robust and durable, but at the same time soft, cozy, adaptable and retains heat. The pile is usually made of virgin wool and sometimes the fluffier cork wool or even fine silk. Warp and weft are often made of cotton. Traditionally, only vegetable and mineral dyes are used to dye the wool and silk. Natural tones therefore also often determine the look of the carpets. Classic main colors are red, blue and beige, in newer designs also green, black, yellow, pink or gray.

Popular shapes and sizes

The most common - not surprisingly - are rectangular carpets. Be it the long and narrow runner, the short and wide bridge or the classic large carpet, up to 3.00 m long x 2.50 m wide, for the living room, dining area and bedroom. Small note: The increasing automated translation of texts on the Internet leads to the fact that the large carpets are more and more often also called "area rugs", from the English "area rug".

In recent years, increasingly popular oversized, that is, carpets from 3.50 m x 2.50. Indeed, these create cozy islands of well-being in apartments that have parquet or laminate flooring.

An elegant alternative to the rectangular shape are oval rugs, which can add a graceful and harmonious touch to the ambience, especially in living rooms with a sofa and dining area.

In addition, square and circular carpets can be used in the same way as their rectangular and oval counterparts. Their shape makes them look more insular and accentuating in comparison. An important feature of hand-knotted carpets is that they are never perfectly square or perfectly round. On the contrary, the deviations from symmetry here are particularly striking and the rule.

Rather rare are triangular, polygonal and trapezoidal carpets, as well as carpets in other special shapes. These are more suitable for individual and more structured interiors, as their unusual format pushes them more into the visual center of the room.
