Appealing to collectors and designers, this unusually long Turkish runner (3′ wide x 13’long) is a hand-knotted carpet made from top-quality wool/cotton. The high knot count, dense ‘all-over pattern’ and richly colored vegetable dyes, including sought after blues, greens and apricots make it worthy of an oriental rug lover’s consideration. The color-scheme is nuanced with deep blues, reds, oranges and pistachio, and with a glistening soft lustre. It is a genuine art piece from Istanbul, and one that can work easily into a variety of interiors from traditional to transitional and modern.
Authentic Turkish rugs are made using the traditional hand-knotting technique, which is a labor-intensive process that requires real skill. Its unique weaving technique involves inserting thousands of strands of wool and knots individually tied to a base or rug foundation. These knotted strands of wool comprise the pile of the rug. Therefore, the denser the knots, they higher quality and higher value the rug will be. This runner has an extremely high knot count, compared to other runners commonly on the market.
The best quality Turkish rugs are typically woven with richly dyed wool strand on cotton. Creating hand-knotted rugs is an ancient art that originated in Central Asia, dating back to the 4th century B.C.
