Handmade Uchak Rug 235 x 164 cm - Turkey
Hand-knotted wool Uchak, 235 × 164 cm: a light blue field carries a scattering of large angular palmettes in orange-red, beige and almond green, arranged symmetrically, with no central medallion. The multiple borders combine a wide green band with hooked florets and pinkish beige bands with small crosses.
A large living room format: in front of a sofa of 220 to 240 cm, it stops five centimetres from the seats and takes the coffee table at its centre, with the floor remaining visible all around. Hand-knotted, its wool takes everyday use and keeps its shape over the years.

Caring for your rug
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, rub the stain with circular movements and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The Uchak rug
Le tapis Uchak vient de Turquie, où ses techniques se transmettent depuis des siècles. La laine, souvent filée à la main, est choisie pour sa solidité, et le dessin repose sur de larges motifs géométriques dans des teintes harmonieuses. C'est un style qui traverse les modes.
