Fine Nepalese rugs in artistic designs for your living space

If you are looking for a new rug and value special materials and a stylish look, then Nepalese rugs are definitely a category that you should take a closer look at. High-quality Nepalese rugs come from an old tradition.

Their material is the wool of Nepalese sheep. A special feature of the Nepal rug is the way it is made: even today, a Nepal rug is still laboriously knotted by hand.

With approximately 40,000 to 90,000 knots per square meter, our Morgenland Nepal rugs are high-quality examples. The interesting knotting techniques of this type of rug were originally brought to Nepal by Tibetans and quickly gained worldwide fame for their exclusivity and unique quality.

High quality and special materials of Nepal rugs

A rug that is hand-knotted with such great effort cannot be made of a simple material. In fact, a high-quality Nepal rug is knotted from pure sheep's wool. For this reason, hand-knotted Nepal rugs are not only of high quality, but also very soft and exceptionally durable.

With simple care, your rug will provide you with many years of loyal service and its soft material will be a real treat for you.

What are the basic characteristics of a rug from Nepal?

The tradition of rugs comes from Tibet. From there, people fled to Nepal in the 1950s, where they revived and further developed the art of rug weaving. Within a very short time, Nepalese rugs came to Europe because a Swiss initiative promoted the Nepalese economy. The expert J. Iten-Matiz, in particular, rendered outstanding services in this regard.

He motivated the Nepalese producers to orient themselves towards European tastes. As a result, they developed the typical border rugs with their pleasant coloration, which very quickly met with great success.

The base weave of the rugs is made of cotton threads, while the pile is made of virgin wool with contour cuts. Silk may also be added. The mix of materials makes these rugs very durable, with pleasant running properties and a beautiful shine.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Nepalese rugs?

These rugs have incredible advantages and a few minor disadvantages, but we don't want to keep quiet about them:

Advantages

• robust weave and very rustic

• elegant, timeless design

• creative and modern borders

• regulation of the room climate

• heat-insulating

• natural products made from up to 100% virgin wool

Disadvantages

• initial lint formation

• slight initial wool odor

• relatively uniform and thus limited product design

In general, rugs from Nepal are always of excellent workmanship. The high proportion of virgin wool makes them very valuable, and the designs are timeless. Creatively designed border patterns give them their special touch. Their pile is durable and resists dirt very well. The monochromatic field is purely a matter of taste. Some people like more colorful rugs.

The art of Nepalese rug making: tradition, quality and luxury design

Nepal, a landlocked country in South Asia, located between China and India and partly in the Himalayas, has become a center of exceptional rug-weaving art in recent decades. Most of the manufactories are located in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, which obtains its wool from sheep from the surrounding highland pastures. This wool is of sensational quality and is considered to be very easy to care for. Artificial additives are taboo in the manufacturing process, and Nepal rugs are traditionally knotted by hand.

The knot density can range from 90,000 to 280,000 knots per square meter, with an average of often 155,000 knots. Meanwhile, designer labels such as Luxor Style and Luxor Living create the rug patterns, which can therefore appear anything from simple and elegant to very unusual.

The Luxor Style label, for example, has developed the Swarovski collections Luxor Style Princess, Noblesse, Queen and Royal, which combine the Nepalese art of knotting with modern rug designs. The crystal embellishments that give the Nepal rugs a luxurious character come from Swarovski.

The knot density is given here in “knots”:

“Knots” has become the unit of measurement for the knot density of these rugs, with 200 knots corresponding to a density of around 280,000 knots per square meter, while the lower limit is 60 knots (around 90,000 knots). If a rug from Nepal has been knotted with 200 knots, it is made of pure silk.
