The
voyage of wool starts in the spring when all the sheep over the plateaus are
shaven and is then spun patiently by henna-dyed fingers. The natural
colors of the fertile earth are then poured over the wool. The wool now dons its
alluring beauty with all its natural pureness. There is no comparison to
the color of the natural dyed wool with its noble, deep and genuine attraction.
The
real essence of the colors comes from the endless mixing and blending of the
natural dyeing of the wool. The deep and mysterious effect of the combination of
hand-spun yarn with the natural shades is an indisputable reality. These rugs
are woven by capable hands and turn out as works of art that present the very
beauty of these natural materials. We have seen rugs woven and dancing with
these natural processes for centuries only in the museums, among pieces of
private collections, and in the hands of antique dealers.
The
Creative Touch has been producing such rugs for today’s
market place by using the know-how of the centuries to recreate the antique
beauties of the past. These antique recreations are represented in our Zara,
Samsun and Zile collections. Each collection has its own characteristic that
brings out the true works of art.
The
Zara collection is the recreation of the 19th century, very special classics
like Heriz, Bakshaish, Serapi, Ziegler and Mahal. The collection is a bridge
proudly combining the unforgettable beauties and values of the past to the
future. The Samsun collection is a classical piece of art having the similar
characteristics as the 17th to 20th century Tabriz, Safavid, Polonese, Hadji
Jalili, Mohtashem Keschan, Kirman and Isfahan, and Isfahan Strapwork rugs. Zile,
which is the latest edition to our collection, presents the gorgeous primitive
beauty, natural colors and handspun-wool of the 19th century Bidjar, Sarouk,
Malayer, Senneh, Ferehan, Bakshaish, Serapi, Mahal, and Heriz rugs.
Our main objective, that
encompasses all our collections, is to create and produce a series of “Anew
Old Rugs”, presenting the same pattern, color, size, and weaving facilities as
the scarce rugs which can be found only in museums and with antique traders.
With our strong background in hand-made rugs and the special effort we place in
our R&D department, we have become frontrunners in this specialized market.
With the finishing and washing processes, every rug gains a special appeal,
significance and value. Your appreciation will match our words when you see our
merchandise first hand.
