Craftsmanship
- Artisanal Technique
- Before knotting, a specialist drafts the design on graph paper, with each square representing a knot. Once finalized, the design is transferred to the loom where cotton warp threads are tied vertically, and horizontal weft threads are woven to create the rug’s base and edges.
- Hand-knotting, though slow, permits intricate pattern creation, and in hand-knotted rugs, skilled weavers individually tie each knot, resulting in a unique, one-of-a-kind handmade rug.
- Quality Materials
- Our rugs are crafted using the finest materials and traditional techniques, ensuring durability and timeless beauty.
- Personalized Touch
- Each rug is made to your specifications, with attention to detail in every knot, making it a true work of art.
Production Process
- Approval and Sampling
- Once the design is finalized, a corner sample can be created for your approval at your request, and production begins once you approve.
- Lead Time
- Understand the time frame involved, typically ranging from three to seven months depending on size and complexity.

Custom Finishing Options
- Finishing Options
- Choose the finishing option that is best for your custom hand-knotted rug.
- Fringes
- Fringes are the warp threads that extend beyond the edge of the rug. They can be left as is or trimmed for a neat finish.
- Serging
- Some hand-knotted rugs may feature serged edges, where the edges are sewn with a continuous overlocking stitch to prevent fraying and add strength if you prefer your rug with no fringes.
