This is an authentic SCHAEFFLER rug made of pure virgin wool (100% Schurwolle) in a large format of 200x300 cm (6m²).
Manufactured in the 1970s by the SCHAEFFLER factory (Textilwerk Schaeffler), it combines high-quality virgin wool, dense and treated to last for decades, with state-of-the-art machine weaving.
At the time, it was the largest rug manufacturer in Germany, possessing ultra-modern machines that allowed it to imitate the texture and complexity of hand-knotted Persian rug patterns, but with the regularity and robustness of a German product.
The "Esfahan" (or Ipsahan) design refers to a famous city in Persia known for its exceptionally fine rugs. By offering this model in pure virgin wool, Schaeffler presented a premium, more classic and high-end range, imitating traditional oriental motifs with the German industrial expertise of the time.
The rug is in very good condition, having remained in the same room for a long time, in a smoke-free and pet-free apartment. Only one edge shows visible signs of wear, but there is no fraying.
It would be perfect for a Boho chic or classic style decor, or for adding warmth to a contemporary interior.
