Carpets and Rugs

Carpet and Rug Selection Guide

Carpets and rugs differ by intended use, weaving method, origin, age, dimensions and condition. Even two pieces with similar motifs may differ in size, colour tone, weaving density or signs of use. Each hand-woven item should therefore be evaluated from its own photographs and description.

Hand-Woven Carpets

Hand-Woven Carpets includes carpets produced with hand-weaving techniques. Compare dimensions, weaving method, verified material information, pattern, colour, age and overall condition.

Indian Rugs

Indian Rugs includes hand-woven rugs in different sizes. Products directly associated with the main category include a 119×117 cm Hand-Woven Indian Rug and a 95×153 cm Hand-Woven Indian Rug.

Compare dimensions, pattern, colour distribution, weaving structure and condition. Small variations in hand-made items can be part of the individual character of each piece.

Kayseri Kilims

Kayseri Kilims groups pieces associated with Kayseri weaving traditions. Check actual dimensions, weave, colours, age information, repairs and overall condition rather than relying on the category name alone.

Konya and Yoruk Kilims

Konya Kilims and Konya 1st Class Yoruk Kilims are separate subcategories. Traditional geometric motifs and colour combinations can vary from one item to another.

Yoruk, Iranian and Antique Kilims

Yoruk, Iranian and Antique Kilims brings together pieces from different weaving traditions and age groups. For older items, distinguish normal signs of age from damage or repair and review the actual product condition carefully.

How Should Carpet and Rug Size Be Chosen?

Choose dimensions according to the actual space. Living rooms, corridors, entrances and decorative wall use may require very different widths and lengths. Measure the space and compare it with the stated centimetre dimensions before ordering.

Hand-woven items may not follow the same dimensional consistency as mass-produced products, so use the actual dimensions stated for each item.

What Should You Check on Hand-Woven Carpets and Rugs?

• Actual dimensions: compare width and length with the intended space.
• Weaving: verify the stated weaving method from the product description.
• Material: assess wool, cotton, silk or other fibre claims only when verified for the specific product.
• Origin: descriptions such as Kayseri, Konya, Yoruk, Indian or Iranian should be verified at product level.
• Condition: inspect stains, wear, fringes, holes, edges and repairs.
• Photographs: use the actual product images to assess colour and surface condition.

Condition of Older and Antique Rugs

Signs of age may be part of an older textile's history, but missing weave, holes, fringe loss or later repairs can affect value and usability. For collectible pieces, the current condition should be clearly understood before purchase.

Terms such as “antique,” “old” or a stated regional origin should be verified for each individual product; the category text itself is not a guarantee of age or provenance.

Carpet and Rug Care

Care requirements depend on weaving and material. Incorrect washing, harsh chemicals or unsuitable drying can damage hand-woven, older or delicate pieces. Use a cleaning method suitable for the verified material and condition of the specific item.

Carpet and Rug Prices

Carpet and rug prices can vary according to dimensions, weaving technique, material, workmanship, origin, age, pattern, rarity and condition. For hand-woven or older pieces, price-per-square-metre alone may not be a meaningful comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a hand-woven carpet and a kilim?

They can use different weaving techniques and have different surface structures. Verify the actual production method and materials from the product information.

How should I choose carpet or rug size?

Measure the intended space and compare the width and length with the actual centimetre dimensions of the product.

What should I check when buying an older rug?

Review wear, holes, fringes, edges, fading, stains, repairs and overall condition through the photos and description.

Does origin affect price?

Origin can be one factor, but dimensions, workmanship, age, material, rarity and condition should all be considered together.

Why can hand-woven dimensions vary?

Hand production and the individual nature of each piece can result in more variation than mass-produced products. Always use the stated actual dimensions.

How should carpet and rug prices be compared?

Compare products with similar dimensions, weaving, material, age and condition. Square-metre price alone may be insufficient for older or hand-woven pieces.
