THE souvenir for your home!
Even the nomads appreciated the cozy furnishings of their tents with uniquely beautiful handcrafted carpets. Even nowadays the oriental carpet is a very special kind of decoration of the apartment in our latitudes. It is also a wonderful souvenir that will remind you of your vacation in Tunisia for a long time.
Whether small tapestries or large carpets - each piece is unique and handmade. The choice is huge, as are the colors, shapes and patterns. They are created, among other things, by different materials such as silk, sheep's wool or lamb's wool.
Who of us has not heard of the famous woven kilim with its multitude of different patterns and motifs? Mergoum, which is also woven, is no less well known among carpet lovers. It is decorated with ornate embroidery. Also very popular are the aloucha knotted from natural wool and the zerbiya dyed with natural colors.
The price and quality of the carpets differ mainly in
• the fineness and processing of the samples,
• the material used,
• The thickness of the fabric, measured by the stitches in woven carpets, the number of knots in knotted carpets.
Here are some examples:
Very good quality "superior":
90.000, 160.000, 250.000 knots / sqm
1st choice: 40.000 knots / sqm
2nd choice: 12.000 knots / sqm.
In reputable shops you will receive expert advice and of course you will also receive a certificate of authenticity for the carpets. Don't let anything impose on you!
