Traditional Cotton Rugs
When exploring traditional cotton 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, cotton rugs and dhurries are lightweight, breathable and remarkably easy to live with. Because cotton is washable and naturally hypoallergenic, our cotton collection is a favourite for bedrooms, nurseries, kids' rooms and casual dining areas. Each piece is flatwoven by hand on traditional pit looms — there is no glue, no synthetic backing, just yarn and weave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do traditional rugs work in modern interiors?
Absolutely — pairing an antique-style Persian rug with modern minimalist furniture has been a designer staple for decades. The contrast is the whole point: the rug brings warmth and history, the furniture keeps the space contemporary.
Can you recreate an antique rug design?
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.
Can I machine-wash a cotton dhurrie?
Small cotton dhurries (up to 3x5 ft) can usually be machine-washed on a cold gentle cycle. Larger pieces should be dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned to preserve shape and colour.
Are cotton rugs durable?
Cotton flatweaves are durable for low-to-medium traffic areas. For hallways and heavily used rooms, we recommend wool or jute instead.
