Antique Kazak Aksou carpet

Heritage rug inspired by Caucasian weaving art, in a warm Caucasian red with striking geometric motifs.

Clear geometric motifs and a warm earthy palette, characteristic of Caucasian Kazak rugs. A classic look that is far from stuffy, making this rug a great fit for modern furniture as well.

Is the rug washable and suitable for outdoor use?

The rug can be machine-washed at 30 °C, and the colors will remain vibrant for a long time. Small sizes fit in a home washing machine, while large rugs are best washed in a commercial machine. It works just as well in the living room as it does on a terrace, balcony, or in a conservatory, and is suitable for underfloor heating. The back features an anti-slip coating. In high-traffic areas, we recommend using an additional anti-slip rug pad.

How thick is the rug?

It is only 3 mm thick. The rug is flat-woven like a kilim and has no pile. This allows it to lie flush under doors and furniture, collect less dust, and be folded for transport or storage. If you are looking for a thick, soft high-pile rug, this is not the one for you. In return, you get a clean, easy-care surface.

What is the rug made of?

The rug is made of a single material: polyester, 70% of which is recycled PET (rPET). The recycled content increases every year (20% in 2023, 40% in 2025, 70% in 2026), with the goal being 100%. Because no material blends are used, the rug is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Louis De Poortere developed and patented the weaving technique in its own development department in Mouscron.

What happens to the rug when it has reached the end of its life?

Once the rug has served its purpose, you scan the QR code on the back and Louis De Poortere will collect it free of charge. Well-preserved rugs are resold, and all others are processed into new polyester yarn.

Who manufactures the rug?

Louis De Poortere is a fourth-generation Belgian family business that has been weaving rugs since 1929. Every rug is created in their own production facility in Belgium.
