Overdyed Vintage Hand-knotted Oriental Rug 9' 2" x 12' 3" (110" x 147")

For a contemporary look with abstract appeal, this over-dyed rug is skillfully crafted by the revitalization of a hand-knotted vintage Oriental area rug in Turkey. Woven with wool on cotton in the second half of the 20th century, this "distressed" rug measures 9' 2" x 12' 3" (110" x 147").
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 desaturate 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 handmade, these Oriental 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.
