The Zade Series is Halıcızade's loom-woven house line, made to close the gap between a hand-knotted rug most people cannot buy and a machine rug that looks like one. The structure is built on the loom in Oushak (Uşak) and Kütahya; the fringes are tied by hand. Forty-eight designs, mostly in Tencel® lyocell and cotton.
Anyone looking for an authentic rug runs into the same fork: hand-knotting, which is the real thing at a price that puts it out of reach, or machine weaving, which is affordable and reads flat on the floor. Zade was drawn to sit between them. This page covers how loom weaving works, what the series is made of, where its patterns come from, and what sizes exist.
What is a loom-woven rug?
A rug whose body is built by machine on the loom and whose finishing is done by hand. The warp is set and the pile structure is formed mechanically, which is what makes the pattern repeat exactly and the sizes come out square. Then the rug leaves the loom and people take over: the pile is sheared, the edges are closed, and every fringe on every Zade rug is knotted one strand at a time by women working in Oushak and Kütahya. What comes off that sequence has the surface of a handwoven rug without the uniformity of a factory one.
| Hand-knotted | Loom-woven (Zade) | Machine-woven | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the pile is made | Every knot tied by hand | Structure formed on the loom | Power loom, at speed |
| Time per rug | Months | Between the two | Minutes |
| Fringe | The warp itself | Hand-tied after weaving | Stitched or glued on |
| Sizes | One per rug, irregular | Standard grid, 80 × 130 to 300 × 390 cm | Standard grid |
| Pattern repeat | Never exact; drift is visible | Exact, with hand-finished edges | Exact, and identical on every copy |
| Price band | Highest | Between the two | Lowest |

What is Zade woven from?
Mostly Tencel® lyocell and cotton, with wool in part of the range. Lyocell is a cellulose fiber spun from wood pulp: it takes a silk-like surface, it breathes, and it shifts between matte and lustrous depending on which way the light crosses the pile. It is not a natural fiber in the sense that wool and cotton are, and it is not a petroleum-based synthetic either; it is regenerated cellulose, and the reason it appears here is that no synthetic yarn produces the same surface.
The pile is deliberately low. A short pile holds less dust than a deep one and takes a damp cloth without matting, which is most of the reason the series is easy to live with. Wool models behave differently — warmer underfoot, more forgiving of concentrated traffic, slower to show a footprint. See Tencel® rugs, cotton rugs and wool rugs.
Where do the patterns come from?
Four traditions, redrawn rather than copied.
- Oushak. The most widely recognized weaving tradition in Anatolia: large floral forms and a wide-set medallion order on an open field. This is the drawing the series returns to most often. See Oushak rugs.
- Pazyryk. Drawn from the oldest knotted rug known to survive, cut from a frozen Scythian tomb in the Altai mountains and now in the Hermitage. The Zade version keeps the central grid and the animal-figure border. See Pazyryk-design rugs.
- Mamluk. Fifteenth-century Cairo drawing, built as a star at the center with octagons and papyrus fans radiating outward — the tightest geometry in the collection.
- Persian and Bünyan. Curvilinear Persian motifs, and the flower drawing of Bünyan, a rug-weaving district of Kayseri province.
One motif runs through all of them. Every one of the 48 designs in the series carries a tree-of-life figure worked into the border — a mark drawn for this collection and used on nothing else in the catalog. It is the quickest way to identify a Zade rug at a glance: look at the frame, not the field.
What sizes does the Zade Series come in?
Forty-eight designs in 116 size-and-color combinations, counted from the current catalog. The range starts at 80 × 130 cm (2'7" × 4'3"), the size of the four prayer rugs in the series, and ends at 300 × 390 cm — 11.7 m², enough to seat a full salon with all furniture legs on the rug.
Between those, the grid runs 90 × 150, 130 × 190, 160 × 230, 170 × 240, 200 × 290, 200 × 300 and 240 × 340 cm. Runners are 90 cm wide in lengths of 190, 290, 390, 490 and 590 cm, so a hall of nearly six meters takes one piece rather than two joined at a seam. Round rugs come at 160 and 200 cm across. One hand-knotted Oushak medallion piece sits in the collection alongside the loom-woven ones, at 173 × 244 and 202 × 303 cm — sizes that belong to the rug rather than to a grid. See round rugs, hallway runners and prayer rugs.
Why is the series only sold here?
Because it was drawn here. Zade was designed from scratch by Halıcızade's own design team and woven only for this collection; the classical sources are public, but these particular drawings, colorways and the tree-of-life border are not woven for anyone else. That is a statement about where the designs come from, not a claim about grade — the store carries hand-knotted rugs of a construction Zade does not attempt, and says so.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Zade Series hand-knotted?
No. Zade is loom-woven: the pile structure is formed by machine on the loom and the finishing is done by hand, including every fringe, which is tied strand by strand in Oushak and Kütahya. The method gives the surface of a handwoven rug at a price hand-knotting cannot reach.
What is Tencel, and how does it differ from a synthetic yarn?
Tencel® is a brand of lyocell, a cellulose fiber spun from wood pulp. Unlike petroleum-based synthetics such as polyester and acrylic it breathes, and its surface reads silk-like and shifts between matte and lustrous with the angle of the light. It is regenerated cellulose rather than a natural fiber.
Where are Zade Series rugs made?
On looms in Oushak and Kütahya, in western Anatolia. The weaving is done there and so is the hand finishing, including the fringes, which are knotted by women working in both districts.
What is the tree-of-life motif on a Zade rug?
A figure worked into the border of every one of the 48 designs in the series, drawn for this collection alone. Checking the frame rather than the field is the fastest way to tell a Zade rug from another loom-woven rug of similar pattern.
What is the Pazyryk pattern?
Pazyryk is the oldest knotted rug known to survive, found in a frozen Scythian tomb in the Altai mountains and held in the Hermitage. Zade's Pazyryk models reinterpret it, keeping the central grid layout and the border of animal figures.
What sizes does the Zade Series come in?
Forty-eight designs in 116 size-and-color combinations. They run from 80 by 130 cm up to 300 by 390 cm, with runners 90 cm wide in lengths to 590 cm and round rugs at 160 and 200 cm across.
How are Zade Series rugs cleaned?
The pile is low, so it holds less dust than a deep pile and most marks lift with a damp cloth. Vacuum with the beater bar off, blot spills rather than rubbing them, and use a professional rug wash for deep cleaning.
