Sculpted by Hand
Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.
Turkey's Anatolian weaving provinces carry one of the longest unbroken carpet traditions in the Islamic world, their workshops historically bridging Persian court aesthetics with the bold graphic instincts of Ottoman imperial textile design.
This new hand-knotted wool runner — measuring 81x305 cm — presents a borderless damask field in which a central oval medallion dissolves into a continuous, bilaterally mirrored repeat of palmettes, peony heads, pomegranate finials, and acanthus scrollwork, all rendered in a deep burnt rust that shifts toward warm terracotta at its densest and softens to a dusty copper at the pile's surface reflection, set against an ivory cream ground that gives the composition its striking tonal contrast.
The absence of a formal border is a deliberate modernist choice, allowing the damask repeat to press to the selvedge and read more as a length of monumental woven textile than a conventional rug, while ivory fringe at both terminals acknowledges the piece's classical lineage. It carries the quiet authority of something architectural — suited to a gallery corridor or a considered interior where ornament is used as a counterweight to restraint.
Damask-style palmettes, peony blooms, acanthus scrolls, pomegranate finials, and interlocking vine tendrils arranged in a bilateral mirror-repeat typical of Ottoman-influenced textile traditions
Handcrafted in pure wool and silk for calm, contemporary rooms.

Long-staple wool springs back without shedding.

Pure wool and silk—never viscose that watermarks.

Many modern rugs substitute wood-pulp viscose or polyester for silk—fibres that flatten and watermark from a single drop of water. We use only natural wool and silk.
Real mulberry and bamboo silk paired with lanolin-rich wool clean safely without stiffening or yellowing.
Light ivory, oat, and stone tones stay clean because dry soil sits on the fibre surface until vacuumed.
Free from synthetic adhesives and plastic yarns for healthier indoor air and barefoot comfort.
