1- Product Features

This rug is hand-knotted with wool yarns, using cotton for the warp and weft threads. The wool yarns are dyed entirely with natural root dyes through traditional kirman dyeing techniques. For example, to obtain red, wool yarns are boiled with rose petals, which impart their color naturally. Rugs made with root-dyed yarns develop a richer and more vibrant appearance over time with use.

The rug is woven using the high-quality Turkish knot, also known as the double knot technique, which ensures durability and a longer lifespan compared to Persian rugs. Approximately 650,000 hand knots are tied in the weaving of this rug.

2- Historical Background

Sultani rugs are a significant part of the rich carpet weaving tradition of the Ottoman Empire. These rugs were primarily produced in the 16th and 17th centuries for use in Ottoman palaces and important official residences. Crafted with high-quality materials and meticulous workmanship, they were specially made for palace inhabitants and high-ranking diplomats.

The motifs in Sultani rugs often reflect Ottoman cultural and artistic heritage, featuring floral, tree, geometric, and figurative designs. These motifs not only enhance the rug’s aesthetic appeal but also carry the historical essence of their era. Today, Sultani rugs are crafted to complement both modern and classic furniture styles with their colorful and elegant designs.

3- Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning methods vary depending on the rug’s material and the type of dirt. Since this rug is made from root-dyed wool yarns, chemical shampoos or detergents should be avoided. If any liquid spills on the rug, immediately blot the area with a paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, gently clean the spot with a cloth using foam made from white soap.

Prompt intervention is crucial to prevent stains from settling deeply into the rug fibers, which makes removal more difficult. For thorough cleaning, we recommend entrusting your rug to a professional cleaner specialized in hand-knotted carpets. If you live in Istanbul, please contact us for trusted rug cleaning services.
