Specifications

Rug ID ORIA232
Knot density approx 90 000 knots per m²

You can easily calculate the knot density yourself by counting the number of knots 1 cm down and 1 cm across, and then multiplying these numbers together. Then multiply the total by 10,000 to give the number of knots per m².

Some carpet sellers exaggerate the knot density, so to be sure that you are comparing like for like when it comes to price, it is worth checking the knot density yourself. Most of CarpetVista’s carpets have a photograph of the reverse with a ruler, making it easy to examine the knot quality and count the exact knot density before choosing your carpet.

Thickness ≈ 6 mm
Production year 1940-1960
Origin Afghanistan
Pile Wool
Wool is a natural textile fibre and one of the most sought after materials for rug making. Wool rugs are highly durable and perfectly capable of resisting wear and tear of every day use. Wool has a naturally dirt-repelling effect and is easy to keep clean. It is also flame resistant and characteristically retains it’s shape so that the pile of the rug always rises.
Warp Wool
Manufacturing Hand knotted
Elaborate weaving technique with specialized artisans tying knots to form rows of pile either by cutting each individual knot or an entire row of knots. Hand-knotting takes time and also allows for intricate patterns.
Also known as Afgan, Afghán, Afgán
Size 97x175
This carpet is hand knotted/woven; therefore, difference in shape, thickness, pattern and sizes can occur. This applies particularly to nomadic and village carpets.
Condition Fine

The front of a large carrying or tent bag, a so-called "Tschowal" is suitable as a decorative wall decor in modern living environments. Nine Joumud "Göls" adorn the inner field of the bag and are surrounded by a finely patterned border.
Turkmen treasures: A collection of knotting art from the Ersari from the past century. The Ersari, Turkmen nomads from the north of Afghanistan, knotted carpets, kilim tent bags and other household items in order to be able to liv e in the yurts all year round on their hikes of their kind. The most striking feature of Turkmen carpets is their mostly geometric ornamentation and the red to red-brown Overall color. The main motif of this knotting work is the so-called "Gül", a mostly octagonal main motif that shows the tribal affiliation of these proud nomads. These Ersari works from the last century (1940 - 1960) are rare, irretrievable originals today. Nomadic and semi-nomadicism is also on the verge of extinction in Afghanistan. The hand-knotted workpieces of the Ersari collection are precious rarities from a private collection and were restored with much love and effort in the country of origin.

A beautiful carpet well worth its price.

Found the rug of my dreams!

For a while now I've been searching for a pure wool rug which matched my criteria, ie had a particular unusual design and colours. I came across a note I'd made about Rugvista and within minutes of going on their website, found the exact rug of my dreams! I placed the order straight away, there's no delivery charge, and as it was my first order I received 15% disount. Rugvista are based in Sweden and my rug was shipped from there, from order to delivery it took 4 days. I chose UPS as the courier and the process was easy, they have a good tracking tool and my rug arrived on time. The quality of the rug is perfect, it's exactly what I wanted and I'm really happy with the end result. I would totally recommend Rugvista, their website is comprehensive, has a vast choice on offer and the pictures and descriptions are very accurate.

Lovely product and an easy company to deal with. The rug we ordered was delivered quickly and is good quality. I ordered an anti slip mat which and the wrong product was sent out but their customer services was very quick and efficient and a replacement sorted out with a discount for my inconvenience, I would use this company again if I need another rug.
