Modern Rugs Silk Rugs
When exploring modern rugs silk rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Modern rugs reject the busy borders and central medallions of traditional designs in favour of bold abstract compositions, clean geometric forms, gradient washes and minimalist colour fields. They are designed for contemporary interiors — Scandinavian, mid-century, industrial loft and modern Indian schemes.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a modern rug in custom colours?
Yes — colour customisation is one of our specialities. Send us photos of your space and any colour references (paint chips, fabric swatches, Pantone codes) and we'll match within typical dye tolerances.
Are modern rugs hand-knotted or hand-tufted?
Both — we offer modern designs in both techniques. Hand-tufted is faster and more economical (4-8 weeks); hand-knotted is the heirloom-grade option (4-9 months for custom pieces).
How do I clean a pure silk rug?
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.
Why are silk rugs so expensive?
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.
