Sculpted by Hand
Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.
The tradition of bold, large-scale botanical repeat design emerged strongly in mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian and Western modernist decorative arts before being adopted by the Indian hand-tufted rug industry, which refined the genre into a technically accomplished genre of its own — prized for its ability to render graphic, sculptural surface relief in fine wool pile.
This square 213x213 cm piece, new and unworn, is structured around an all-over field of oversized concentric floral circles — each bloom resolved as a series of tonal graduated rings radiating outward from a scalloped cloud-carved rosette at its core, the rings shifting from pale blush white through soft lavender and dove grey to a deeper charcoal mauve at the outer arcs.
The pile appears cut-and-loop or sculptured, lending the motifs a three-dimensional relief quality that deepens the tonal contrast between ring bands. There is no formal border; the pattern bleeds to the edge in an unframed, seamless repeat, with partial circles cropped at all four sides. The palette is entirely achromatic-violet — a considered monochromatic study in lavender, grey, and white with no contrasting accent — giving the composition a singular atmospheric restraint. A piece that anchors a quiet, considered interior with understated graphic confidence rather than decorative noise.
Stylised oversized poppy or camellia blooms rendered as concentric scalloped rings — each flower centre formed by a cloud-carved rosette with lobed petal edges, surrounded by expanding tonal rings; the design draws loosely from 1960s Marimekko-inspired bold botanical abstraction translated into cut-and-loop pile relief
Handcrafted in pure wool and silk for calm, contemporary rooms.

Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.

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.
