02Highlights

Four things that set this rug apart

Wool yarn

On the surface: Wool, Cotton. Writing the yarn onto the spec sheet is saying in advance how the rug will age.

Tribal pattern

Tribal pattern; the motif edges sit on the order of the warp, so they come out sharp. The ground is colorful, red.

Afghanistan workshop

This rug is woven in Afghanistan. Knowing where a rug comes from is not only a matter of curiosity: yarn, dye and weaving habits change from region to region.

Professional cleaning

Cleaning method: Professional cleaning. In a rug in direct sun the color opens unevenly over the years; drawing the curtain halfway or turning the rug now and then prevents that.

03Specifications

Technical details

The nature of handwork: Every woven rug is made one at a time, so sizes and color tones can vary by up to 3%. Small irregularities where the yarns cross are not faults; they are the signature of the weave.

The story of this rug

Şahzade Series, woven by hand in Afghanistan. The drawing descends from the Pazyryk, the oldest knotted pile rug that survives anywhere, lifted out of a frozen Scythian tomb in the Altai and kept now at the Hermitage.

01How it feels underfoot

Multicolor, wool in the pile over a cotton foundation carrying a small quantity of synthetic thread. Two sizes: 127 × 181 cm (4'2" × 5'11") and 127 × 187 cm (4'2" × 6'2"). What this drawing takes from Pazyryk is the discipline of the borders rather than the animals: concentric frames, each one narrower than the last, closing on a field of repeated motifs.

02Which tone on the ground

Worked in full color, those frames are what hold the piece together — a multicolor field of this kind scatters without them. From a distance the borders are the structure; stand on it and the individual motifs separate out. This is Afghan work, woven by hand inside a tradition centuries deep.

03The Wool on the surface

The foundation is cotton carrying a small quantity of synthetic thread, added for durability and stated rather than glossed over. Professional washing. Woven by hand in Afghanistan. Wool pile over a cotton foundation with a small quantity of synthetic thread. Multicolor field inside concentric borders, drawn after the Pazyryk. Two sizes: 127 × 181 cm (4'2" × 5'11") and 127 × 187 cm (4'2" × 6'2"). Professional washing. What is the Pazyryk rug? It is the oldest knotted pile rug that survives, excavated from a Scythian tomb frozen into the permafrost of the Altai and dated to roughly the fifth century BC.

04The origin of the pattern

It is held at the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, and its bordered, framed composition is what the Şahzade drawing borrows.

A long look at the surface, the edge finish and the sizes.

Which size fits your room?

The most common mistake in choosing a rug is buying too small. Here are the numbers, room by room:

Living room

At least the front legs of the sofas should sit on the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor showing around it.

Recommended: 200×290 · 240×340 · 300×380

Dining room

It should extend 60–75 cm beyond every edge of the table, so chairs do not catch when pulled back.

Recommended: 200×290 · 250×250 · 240×340

Bedroom

Either cover the lower two-thirds of the bed, or choose a size that extends 60–90 cm on three sides.

Recommended: 170×240 · 200×290 · 240×340

Hallway · runner

Choose one 25–30 cm shorter than the hallway, leaving 10–15 cm of floor on each side.

Recommended: 80×290 · 90×390 · 90×490

Care — three rules

Vacuum regularly

Use a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Once a week is enough; dust is lifted before it settles between the yarns.

Treat spills before they dry

Blot, do not rub. Dampen with a suitable cleaner and dry.

Leave washing to a professional

Household machines are not suitable for woven rugs. One professional wash a year is recommended.

Frequently asked

Which size should I choose for a living room?

At least the front legs of your sofas should sit on the rug. For a standard living room 200 × 290 cm is recommended; for wide rooms 240 × 340 cm or 300 × 380 cm. The scale plan on this page shows how much of a 520 × 420 cm room each size covers.

How long does shipping take, and what does it cost?

For international orders, shipping, duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and paid in advance; there is no cash on delivery. Rugs in stock leave Ankara within 1–3 business days.

Can I return it if I do not like it?

Yes. You can return it within 14 days of delivery, no questions asked. On international orders return shipping is paid by the buyer.

Will the color match what I see on screen?

Small differences in tone are possible depending on your screen. Open the images full screen to study the surface, and watch the review video where there is one. If you want to be sure, you can see the rug in person at our showroom in Çankaya, Ankara.

Can the rug be used over underfloor heating?

It depends on the pile height. Low-pile woven rugs work with underfloor heating and do not block the heat. If you are unsure, send the product code to Client Services on WhatsApp.

How does the price change between sizes?

Pricing is by the square meter. The price per square meter is shown next to the price, and it updates as you select a size.

Can I see the rug in Ankara?

Yes. At our showroom in Çankaya, Ankara you can see the rugs in this series and touch the weave. No appointment is needed.

Can I ask for a size that is not listed?

Custom sizes can be woven in many series. Send your measurements on WhatsApp and we will come back with a production time and a price.
