Luxury carpets

Damascus, the tormented and exquisite capital of Syria, has given its name to a fabric and a motif whose history passes through China, ancient Greece and Persia, finally arriving to us as a great classic able to align with contemporary taste. The Damask collection from Carpet Edition is one of the most prestigious offerings from the Hand Made catalog. Many versions are available which adapt to any context.

The over twenty Damask rugs available are produced in varying percentages of bamboo, wool, viscose and cotton depending on the model. The original technique, which over the course of centuries has characterized and defined ‘damask style’ provides that weft and warp, in solid color, are knotted and woven manually, creating patterns and designs that emerge as a result of the contrast between opacity and gloss. Carpet Edition preserves the antique hand knotting method but adds to it meticulous carving work. In this way, other than the prestige of the Persian knot, a subtle three dimensional effect is perceived thanks to the ability of the artisans, who, after having knotted thousands of threads, clean the rug, ridding it of excess fibers and proceed with accurate carving. At the end of this long and laborious process, every rug is mounted on a frame to dry in the sun so as not to lose the splendor and elasticity of the threads.
