When exploring traditional silk rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Traditional rugs span centuries of design history — Persian medallions, Mughal florals, Heriz geometrics, Caucasian Kazaks and Indian Agra designs. They bring instant timeless character to a room and pair beautifully with both classical and modern furniture.
Coupled with this, pure silk carpets represent the pinnacle of the weaver's art. Because silk fibres are so fine, our hand-knotted silk rugs can carry 400-900+ knots per square inch — an extraordinary level of detail that lets master artisans render intricate Mughal florals, calligraphic borders and Persian medallions with photo-like precision. The result is a piece that catches light differently from every angle, often described as a painting underfoot.

Yes — send us a photo or sketch and we can quote a hand-knotted recreation in your chosen size, colour palette and material. Most clients pick a design from our portfolio and customise from there.
Vacuum gently with the beater bar off, blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (never rub), and have it professionally cleaned every 18-24 months by a specialist who handles fine silk rugs. Avoid steam cleaning and chemical solvents.
Silk thread is significantly more expensive than wool, and the high knot density (often 600+ KPSI) means a single 6x9 ft rug can take a skilled weaver 8-14 months. You're paying for material plus thousands of hours of human craftsmanship.
