Theme auction: Oriental carpets
The auction includes a total of 160 Oriental carpets and rugs, ranging from primitive nomadic carpets to fine workshop carpets in silk, old as well as new.
The knotting of carpets is an Oriental tradition that is many centuries old. It is a craft which has been passed on from generation to generation requiring expertise, patience, precision and not least a fine sense of the combination of colours and patterns. The process from sheep-shearing across wool spinning, dyeing and knotting to the completion of the individual carpet is long and demanding. Every single carpet has its very own story to tell and is simply a fantastic piece of decorative art that can be combined with every kind of interior design.
Last year, wholesale prices of Oriental carpets rose with 30-40 percent and this means that it is now particularly favourable to buy rugs and carpets at auctions.
