5- Hand-knotted with Ghiordès knots (Turkish symmetrical knots)

this one-of-a-kind rug is made from hand-spun pure wool and then over-dyed to create a remarkable chromatic composition

The secondary "guls" used in Salor rugs resemble the major guls of the Tekke and Sariq tribes

reinforcement of the sides is enabled to provide protection against wear and tear and the rug is kept flat on the floor

since strong silk fibers permit skilled weavers to weave more knots per square inch (KPSI) than those of wool carpets

Tauris Trellis - Arts & Crafts by William Morris white house emblem 5- Hand-knotted with Ghiordès knotsOverview This beautiful pure wool rug has been inspired by the famous 19th century British textile designer William Morris. The trellis motif is a traditional element and can be found in designs from all periods but Morris took the motif and made it his own. He simplified the trellis into perfect squares, sketched in some lines simulating woodgrain without suggesting depth, added some climbing roses and bluebirds, and created a classic.
