Vintage hand-knotted wool carpet with birds and gazelles – approx. 222 × 140 cm

An elegant vintage carpet where refined craftsmanship and warm colours come together. The rug is hand-knotted from soft wool on cotton threads and measures about 222 by 140 centimetres – large enough to enliven a sitting area or bedroom, yet compact enough to fit in almost any interior.

The design is a tribute to the classic weaving tradition: a deep red field full of blooming vines, birds, and gazelles, framed by a richly decorated blue-ivory border. The weave is symmetrical and tight, giving the carpet its smooth, lightweight character. Thanks to the fine wool, it also has a natural sheen that beautifully comes to life under light.

In some areas a subtle glossy layer is visible – an old paint treatment applied in the sixties and seventies to give colours extra depth. This light cracking in the paint is not only authentic but also one of the charming signs of age: it gives the rug a unique texture and a story you feel when you walk over it.

Professionally cleaned and in very good vintage condition, this carpet radiates warmth, grace, and character. Perfect for those who love interiors with soul – from classic to free-spirited or mid-century style.

A handmade work of art for the floor – smooth, lively, and timelessly beautiful.
