Clients request a quote for a Sarelli hand-tufted carpet by submitting specific project dimensions, material preferences, and design files directly to the Sarelli design team. The Sarelli team processes these details to generate a comprehensive pricing document within 48 to 72 hours.
Required information for an accurate hand-tufted rug quote
An accurate pricing calculation requires clients to provide the exact rug dimensions in square meters, the desired pile height in millimeters, and the specific fiber composition. Missing specifications delay the quotation process because material costs fluctuate based on exact yarn weights.
The Sarelli production team calculates base costs using a standard density of 4.5 kilograms of yarn per square meter for a 12-millimeter pile height. Clients must specify if the design requires 100 percent New Zealand wool, pure botanical silk, or a blended composition. A standard 200 by 300 centimeter rectangular rug requires exactly 6.0 square meters of material. Complex geometric patterns or custom color dyeing processes add between 15 and 25 percent to the baseline production cost. Clients can review available fiber options on the Rug Materials page before submitting a request.
Variables that influence hand-tufted carpet pricing
Hand-tufted carpet prices depend directly on the chosen yarn type, the total number of custom dyed colors, and the complexity of the carving techniques applied to the finished pile. Sarelli calculates these variables to determine the final cost per square meter.
Sarelli offers over 1,200 standard colors, but custom Pantone matching requires a laboratory dyeing fee of 150 EUR per specific shade. Incorporating metallic threads or high-luster Tencel accents into a wool base increases the material cost by 30 percent per square meter compared to pure wool designs. The Hand-Tufted Production process also includes manual carving. Intricate multi-level carving, where artisans sculpt the pile at 8-millimeter, 10-millimeter, and 12-millimeter heights, requires an additional 12 to 15 hours of manual labor per square meter.
The Sarelli quotation and sampling timeline
The Sarelli commercial department delivers initial price quotes within three business days after receiving complete project specifications. Following quote approval, clients can request a physical strike-off sample to verify the exact color accuracy and pile density before full production begins.
A standard 60 by 60 centimeter physical strike-off sample costs 250 EUR and requires 14 to 21 days for production and delivery. Sarelli deducts this sampling fee from the final invoice if the total Bespoke Customization order exceeds 15.0 square meters. Clients reviewing samples can request one round of color adjustments without incurring additional laboratory fees. Once the client approves the physical sample and signs the final quotation, standard production requires 6 to 8 weeks for rugs under 20.0 square meters.
Submitting your carpet design files
Clients must submit digital design files in high-resolution vector formats or detailed raster images at a minimum of 300 dots per inch. The Sarelli technical team translates these client files into precise production maps for the tufting artisans.
Acceptable file formats include PDF, AI, or TIFF files. The design submission must indicate the exact placement of different materials if the rug combines wool and silk. Clients who need design assistance can select a base pattern from the Rugs Collection and request specific scale or color modifications.
