Hand-knotted carpets, handloom rugs, durries, handmade floor coverings
Carpets built row by row on the loom, each tuft knotted by hand and packed down against the weft. The construction takes months on a large piece and leaves a dense surface that wears slowly.
Pileless floor weaves made on a handloom, worked so the weft covers the warp completely and the design appears on both sides. Cotton durries in this construction are light enough to lift and wash.
The third line the firm registered for the 2026 fair, covering handmade floor coverings outside the knotted and handloom constructions.
