Veziri Original Hand Woven Runner Beige Vegetable Dyed Wool Carpet 0.77x310 2.39 Square Meters - 3x10 ft

1-CARPET FEATURES

The warp and weft of this rug are cotton, and the knots are made of wool yarn. The yarns are entirely produced by hand using a kirman. The wool yarns used in the knots are dyed with root dye, meaning natural materials. For example, to achieve the red color, wool yarns are boiled with rose petals, and the yarn absorbs the color of the rose petal; yarns dyed in this manner are called root-dyed yarns. Carpets made from root-dyed yarns acquire a brighter appearance with use. On the other hand, this rug is a high-quality rug in terms of weaving density and is woven with the Turkish knot, also known as the double knot technique; thanks to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian rugs. Finally, approximately 300,000 hand knots were tied in the weaving of this rug.

2-HISTORY OF THE CARPET

The production of Vizier carpets began in the 16th century. These carpets were generally used in the homes and rooms of Ottoman Viziers, as their name suggests. These carpets, used in the palaces and residences of Viziers, reflect the aesthetic understanding of Ottoman-era carpet making. At that time, they were produced in the Uşak, Hereke, and Kayseri regions, which were centers of carpet making. Today, Vizier carpets, which incorporate more colorful and diverse motifs, are compatible with both modern and classic furniture.

3-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Carpet cleaning varies depending on the material of the carpet and the type of dirt. Since this carpet is made from root-dyed wool yarns, chemical carpet shampoos or detergents should not be used. If any liquid spills on this carpet, the affected area should first be thoroughly rinsed with a paper towel; then, a bar of white soap should be lathered and the area wiped with a cloth. It should also be noted that immediate intervention is very important when something spills on the carpet. If the spilled liquid remains on the carpet for a long time without being wiped, the stain will penetrate the warp and become much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend having this carpet professionally cleaned by a trusted hand-woven carpet cleaner. If you reside in Istanbul, you can contact us for carpet cleaning.
