For a contemporary look with abstract appeal, this over-dyed area rug is skillfully crafted by the revitalization of a genuine
hand knotted vintage Turkish rug woven in the second half of the 20th century. Woven with wool on cotton foundation, this "distressed" rug measures
4' 4" x 8' (52" x 96"). The process in creating these works of art begins by shearing to lower the pile and to help "distress" them. They then undergo a series of processes to remove the color. They are now ready to be dyed in one color, a stage that can be repeated several times to reach the desired saturation level and hues that complement and contrast the old. In addition to being
unique and hand-knotted, these rugs make a very special statement about bridging generations of artisanal skill and knowledge over time. This magnificent transformation can be considered a piece of contemporary art, with a unique look that complements any modern décor.
