Sold
Sold. This piece was a single object and it has gone. The drawing is older than the rug — ask what else carries it.
A reverence for the origins of textile art. Drawing from the archival motifs of the legendary Altai discovery, each piece features the iconic processional horsemen and stepped borders that define the earliest form of the knotted rug. Crafted entirely anew using traditional looms and natural dyes, this collection brings the foundational roots of weaving into architectural interiors.
Details
- Origin
- Afghanistan
- Tradition
- Pazyryk
- Technique
- Hand-knottedEvery knot is tied around the warp threads by hand and cut; the cut ends are the pile. It is the slowest of these and the only one that can hold a curve.
- Material
- Wool on woolWool pile on a wool foundation — warp, weft and pile all one fibre. The oldest construction and the one that gives underfoot.
- Dye
- Natural dyesColour from plants and minerals — madder, indigo, walnut, pomegranate. Each dye lot differs slightly, and that difference is what abrash is.

- Knot density
- 160,000 knots/m²Knots in a square metre, counted on the back. A higher count buys finer drawing — smaller curves, more detail — not a better rug: a bold tribal pattern does not ask for one.

Carriage
- The price you see is the price you pay. Nothing is collected on arrival.
- A signature is required on delivery.
- The piece ships from İstanbul with its own attestation.
Return
If it is not right, tell us — the refund and return policy is written out in full.
Rotate it once or twice a year so light and footfall land evenly. Vacuum without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Blot a spill, never rub it. Anything more than that is a job for a specialist rug cleaner, and we will help you find one.
The descent
Where the drawing comes from.
The rug this drawing descends from was made in the fifth century BC, and what is striking is how finished it already was — close symmetrical knotting, a border under full control. Everything the craft did while it was still learning has been lost. That single survivor is the earliest point the whole descent can be traced to.

Good to know
Size, colour, carriage, and what one of one means.
The six answers a buyer wants before a rug of this value leaves İstanbul. Anything else, ask — a person reads it.
Every question, answeredWhen does it leave, and when does it arrive?
It is dispatched from İstanbul within one to two business days of your order and travels by air courier — at your door within three to five days of dispatch, customs permitting. We write with the carrier and the tracking number on the day it leaves.
Will the colour be exactly what I see in the photographs?
Close, and never quite even. Hand-dyed wool shifts a little across a field rather than holding one flat tone, and where the dye is a natural one that shift has a name — abrash. It is evidence of how the colour was made rather than a fault in it. Every piece page names its dye and says what that dye does, so you can read what you are looking at.
Can I send it back?
Fourteen days from delivery. No reason is required and none will be asked for. Write to us and we book the collection with the same courier; return carriage is at your cost, and the refund goes to the card you paid with, in full, once the piece is back with us.
What does one of one mean here?
The rug in the photographs is the rug that arrives, with its own reference, its own measurements and its own irregularities. The drawing is older and is shared — a piece carrying it may have been woven at another size. Ask, and we will say what there is.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the seating group rather than the room — a rug wants at least the front feet of the seating standing on it. Every piece is listed at its exact size, in the system you measure in, so you can hold those figures against the floor you have. Under a dining table, allow for the chairs drawn back; beside a bed, let the rug run out where feet actually land.
What if nothing listed fits the room?
A rug can be made. Tell us the room, the size and what it has to live with, and we will say what is possible and what it would cost before anything is begun. A commissioned piece is made for you and cannot be returned.
