Bhadohi, India
Nishchal Overseas is a carpet and rug manufacturer with its head office at Plot No. 91 in Carpet City, Bida, Bhadohi, and a factory on Shivala Main Road in Mirzapur. Its range covers hand knotted, hand woven, hand tufted and hand loom constructions as well as braided and leather rugs. Beyond those it makes panja and pit loom weaves, jacquard rugs, outdoor rugs and bath rugs.
Hand knotted carpets are the core of the Nishchal Overseas range, tied knot by knot on a vertical loom. They are made at the company's Bhadohi and Mirzapur units for buyers in the United States and Europe.
Hand tufted carpets are made by punching yarn through a canvas stretched on a frame, then backed and finished. The construction lets the company turn a design around faster than knotting allows.
Hand woven rugs are worked on the loom rather than knotted, which gives a flatter and lighter piece. The line sits alongside the company's hand loom and braided constructions.
Panja weaving is a flat weave worked on a vertical loom, with each weft beaten down using the claw shaped panja tool. The result is a reversible durrie with no pile.
Outdoor rugs are listed as a line of their own in the Nishchal Overseas catalogue. They sit beside the company's indoor carpets and bath rugs.
Bath rugs are one of the smaller lines the company lists. They appear with the jacquard and pit loom weaves as part of the wider floor covering range.
