Europeans love to have Persian and other oriental rugs in their home or office, that's why the Persian rugs always have been highly demanded in Europe. During the 1920's and 1930's, the Persian and Caucasian rugs were so popular and the weavers in Persia and Caucasus could not keep up with the orders from the western merchants. Thus, Some of the merchants decided to make the Persian and Caucasian design in Europe, some started in Germany which is called Tetex and some were made in Austria with another technique. The Germans mostly did geometric designs such as Heriz, Serapi, Some Bokhara, and Caucasians, but the ones were made in Austria had a floral design, most were taken from Persian Tabriz and Mahal patterns. Without being bias It must admit that Europeans did better in color combination than Persians or other weavers in the Caucasus. The one that I am offering here, its pattern from Sultanabad, which, also is an English Arts & Crafts. As you see, the color combination of this beauty is phenomenal , multicolor, well balanced & the mixture is out of this world. It is in very good condition, professionally cleaned and is ready to go to your home of office. These German Tetex rus were made by west wool quality and done by hand. This rug is made of wool on cotton foundation .
