Vintage wool Kuert rug, Turkey 1960s

Wonderful carpet from the holy city of Ghom in central Persia. The wool used, the so-called cork wool, is sheared on the lamb’s neck. It makes it possible to spin particularly thin and hard-wearing threads that make the carpet very dense.This carpet is made extremely carefully and worked out in great detail. Features: – Kuert carpet – hand-knotted – approx. 90,000 nodes per m2 – age 50-60 years – 100 virgin wool – Made in Turkey Good condition with slight signs of usage. All of our carpets are cleaned in a professional carpet laundry. The first step in cleaning is to tap the carpet thoroughly to remove dust and any mites. The subsequent prewash with a pH-neutral soap removes stains. For the main wash, the carpet is thoroughly washed by hand – a special soap protects the fibers and preserves the natural wool fat of the carpet. The first dewatering takes place by means of mechanical pressing and spinning, to let the carpets then dry in a constant air circulation.
