Traditional Wool & Silk Blend
When exploring traditional wool & silk blend, 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, our wool-and-silk blend rugs offer the best of both fibres — the durability and resilience of pure wool combined with the lustrous highlights of silk. Master weavers use wool for the structural pile and accent silk in motifs, medallions or borders, creating a layered visual effect that shifts as you walk around the room.

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.
How much silk is in a wool-silk blend rug?
Most of our blends are 80% wool / 20% silk, with the silk used for highlights and motifs. We can produce custom blends from 90/10 to 50/50 depending on your aesthetic and budget.
Are wool-silk blends easier to care for than pure silk?
Yes — the wool backbone makes them more forgiving of foot traffic, vacuuming and the occasional spill. We still recommend professional cleaning every 2-3 years.
