High quality wool
Cork wool is sheep's wool from the neck of the sheep. Wool is a natural material that has important positive properties for everyday use. It is extremely hard-wearing and can easily withstand daily wear and tear. With the right care, it can also last for many decades without showing signs of ageing. Cork wool is particularly soft and shiny as it has a higher natural fat content. It is therefore only used in high-quality carpets. "
Hand-knotted
Traditionally hand-knotted carpets still represent the highest quality standard of all carpet types. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a carpet is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill on the part of the weaver. The knot density therefore also serves as a decisive value factor for hand-knotted carpets. The quality is not directly related to the knotting density.
