Royal Chapelet de Versaille round carpet

Royal Chapelet de Versaille round carpet

This diligently hand-tufted area rug is made of 100% pure lamb’s wool

100% Pure wool

Hand-knotted in pure wool by weavers in the Himalayan foothills

it embodies the traditional aesthetic found in carpets from the Caucus region

When anyone stands directly in front of the pile facing its fibers

over-dyed and carefully hand-washed to produce a revolutionary work of art

also known as a Shah Saloor Bokhara

Their all-over design enhance any room with their pleasing symmetry

_x000D__x000D_This piece derives its name from the "Salor" tribe which was once the wealthiest and most prestigious of the Turkoman tribes

They occupied the oasis land surrounding Merv from the late 17th century until driven from their homeland by the Tekke tribe in 1856

each piece is organically neutralized from its original color

but no examples survive
