Oriental hand-knotted carpets are stunning representations of centuries of skill, artistry, and cultural legacy across the Middle East, Asia, and North Africa. Each rug is meticulously crafted by artists who hand-tie tiny threads to form elaborate designs, resulting in one-of-a-kind works that can take months or even years to finish. This tradition, passed down through centuries, imbues each rug with a wealth of skill and originality.
The outstanding quality of oriental hand-knotted carpets distinguishes them from machine-made alternatives. These carpets, made entirely by hand from high-quality fabrics such as wool, silk, or cotton, are extremely durable, frequently lasting decades or even centuries. Their elaborate designs, which feature dense knots and precise detailing, showcase the weaver’s ability.
Beyond their physical beauty, these rugs have great cultural importance. They often have designs inspired by nature, mythology, and history, with each motif and color telling a story or signifying aspects of the weaver’s spiritual or social environment.
Choosing an oriental hand-knotted carpet from Janssens Orient means owning a piece of history, tradition, and unparalleled artistry.
