Hand-Knotted Rugs
We offer a curated selection of antique and contemporary hand-knotted rugs from India, Iran, Nepal, and Turkey. Each piece is unique, crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Our rugs are made from natural fibers like wool and silk, ensuring durability and timeless beauty. Clients receive expert guidance on selecting pieces that match their style, space, and budget.
Rug Cleaning
Professional wet-wash cleaning services preserve the color, texture, and longevity of hand-knotted rugs. Our process uses gentle, wool-safe solutions to remove dirt and stains without damaging fibers. Regular cleaning prevents wear and maintains the rug's aesthetic and structural integrity. We recommend professional cleaning every 3-5 years, depending on usage and environment.
Custom Orders
We create custom hand-knotted rugs tailored to specific size, color, and design preferences. Clients collaborate with our team to develop unique pieces that fit their space and vision. The process involves selecting materials, patterns, and weavers to ensure the final product meets exact specifications. Custom orders take 6-12 months, depending on complexity.
Rug Repairs
Minor repairs and restoration services address frayed edges, worn patches, or damaged knots in hand-knotted rugs. Our technicians use matching materials and techniques to maintain the rug's authenticity. Repairs extend the lifespan of heirloom pieces while preserving their artistic value. We assess each rug individually to determine the best restoration approach.
Rug Pads
We sell high-quality rug pads that protect floors and enhance rug longevity. Pads prevent slipping, reduce wear from foot traffic, and provide cushioning. Our selection includes fiber-filled and rubberized options suitable for various rug types and surfaces. Proper padding helps maintain the rug's shape and appearance over time.
