"TURTLE LOVE" carpet art - unique - designer rug - 200 x 200 - hand-knotted - Tibetan wool & silk

This unique designer rug comes from the rug art collection "TURTLE LOVE" by the artist STELLA ESVARA.

 She always draws her works by hand, which have nothing to do with a conventional carpet. She lets symbols speak through her lines and thus conveys a piece of the soul of the stories to her viewers:

The turtle is considered the oldest symbol in human history and has embodied different meanings over the course of time. In Hinduism, she carries the world on her shoulders.

Precisely because of its distant origin and properties, the tortoise is considered a symbol of wisdom, strength, resilience and tenacity. The tortoise pendant is the perfect lucky charm for those with bold goals

"For many years I collected amulets, masks and rare jewelry from all countries as a reminder of the sensuality of cultures and the power of their symbols. A symbol, unlike an ornament, is a visual sign as a metaphor for a profound, extraordinary truth. If When we understand certain symbols in their instructive meaning, we become aware of the dual nature of our reality. In search of the origin and essence of the symbols, I experienced a fascinating journey through all eras and cultural areas."

Due to the special art of knotting, the carpet is elaborately made by hand in different heights (2-10mm) and appears in a 3-dimensional picture game.

The carpet was hand-knotted by Tibetans living in exile in Nepal. The best highland wool from the Himalayas is used for this, as well as the finest natural silk from China. Depending on the incidence of light, the natural silk shimmers on the carpet and lets it shine elegantly in several shades of beige.

STELLA ESVARA has been a partner of GoodWeave since the beginning of the first carpet production. GoodWeave is a global, non-profit initiative dedicated to eliminating child labor in the carpet industry.
