The Afghan Carpet Afghan carpets are considered some of the highest-quality and most durable oriental rugs in the world. This hand-knotted treasure has been a part of Afghan culture for centuries, and its production is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Pakistani Carpet Pakistani carpets, produced in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh, are a tribute to master craftsmanship and centuries-old tradition. These luxurious oriental carpets are world-renowned for their quality and rich cultural heritage. Their unique design and manufacturing techniques originate from Turkmen traders who once sold them at the famous market in Bukhara. From there comes one of the most famous patterns – the Bukhara motif – which is now an iconic feature of these hand-knotted carpets.

Final Finishing of Bobbin Lace Bobbin lace requires careful final finishing to ensure its beauty and stability. It’s not always just about stiffening – several factors influence the method of finishing: Lace material (cotton, linen, silk, etc.) Intended use (clothing, decoration, jewelry, etc.) Combination with other materials (metal, paper, glass, etc.) Presentation and shape stability (framed artwork, three-dimensional application, etc.) It is essential to finish the lace correctly after many hours of work; otherwise, it could be damaged quickly.
