More about Care & FairQuestions & answers
What is the Golden legends collection?+
Worlds' first rugs containing gold metal thread fibres.
Is this rug hand-knotted?+
Yes. Every Thibault Van Renne carpet is hand-knotted on a vertical loom, knot by knot, by master weavers, never tufted or machine-made.
Is the silk natural silk or viscose?+
When a TVR carpet is described as containing silk, it is natural mulberry silk, hand-spun. Three collections, ELEGANCE, KASHMIR-BLAZED and AVIO, are woven by default in bamboo silk, a plant-based viscose, and named as such; on request these can be ordered in natural silk instead.
Are the dyes natural?+
No. We use Swiss chemical dyes applied with an in-house technique that produces the natural abrash look. They are reproducible for a second commission and far more lightfast than natural dyes.
How long does a custom piece take to make?+
From approved design to delivery: 5 to 6 months at standard density (81–121 kpsi, roughly 125,000–185,000 knots per m²), around 10 months at 196 kpsi (~300,000 knots per m²), and 12 months or more at 225 kpsi (~350,000 knots per m²). The lead time is set by knot density.
Can this design be made in a custom size or shape?+
Yes. Bespoke is our default since 2009: any size and any shape, including rectangular, round, oval, runner and irregular outlines.
How long will it last?+
A well-kept hand-knotted TVR carpet lasts 20 to 30 years or more, and is repairable for life at our atelier in Belgium.
Can it be repaired?+
Yes. Because the knots are tied, not glued, a TVR carpet can be re-piled and re-fringed at our repair station in Belgium, something a glued or printed rug cannot.
How do I know it is authentic?+
Every TVR carpet has carried a holographic authenticity label since 2014, plus a per-piece digital Rug Passport accessible by QR code. A smartphone-readable chip that opens the same Rug Passport is coming soon.
Where is it made?+
Designed in Belgium and hand-knotted by our weavers in Nepal, India (Rajasthan), Kashmir and the Afghanistan–Pakistan corridor; finished by hand and reviewed a final time in our Evergem atelier.
What is the knot density?+
Across the hand-knotted line it ranges from 81 to 225 knots per square inch (kpsi): 81 kpsi (~125,000 knots/m²), 121 kpsi (~185,000 knots/m²), 196 kpsi (~300,000 knots/m²) and 225 kpsi (~350,000 knots/m²). The finer the density, the longer the carpet takes on the loom.
