Traditional Viscose Rugs
When exploring traditional viscose 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, viscose — sometimes called "art silk" — gives you the lustrous sheen and fluid drape of real silk at a much more accessible price point. Made from regenerated cellulose fibres, viscose accepts dye beautifully and produces vivid, jewel-like colour palettes that suit contemporary interiors.

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.
Is viscose the same as bamboo silk?
Bamboo silk is a type of viscose made specifically from bamboo cellulose. It has a slightly silkier hand-feel and is more eco-friendly than standard wood-pulp viscose. We offer both.
Can viscose rugs be steam-cleaned?
No — viscose is moisture-sensitive and can develop water marks if over-wetted. Always use professional dry cleaning or low-moisture extraction for viscose rugs.
