Sculpted by Hand
Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.
The Kathmandu Valley of Nepal has produced some of the finest hand-knotted pile rugs of the modern era, its workshops fusing Tibetan knotting techniques with sophisticated contemporary design sensibilities to create pieces that command serious international collector attention.
This new piece — hand-knotted in wool with meticulous sculptural pile carving — presents a 2x3 compartmental field of six concentric square motifs, each panel composed of graduating inset squares that recede optically toward a central point, an effect heightened by the high-low relief carving that gives the design its pronounced three-dimensional character; the restrained palette moves between silver-grey, sage green, warm taupe and ivory-champagne, tones that shift with ambient light and lend the surface an almost mineral luminosity, while the border sustains the geometric discipline through a continuous register of rectangular block motifs reminiscent of a classical Greek key frieze.
The cumulative effect is of rigorous architectural calm — a piece that rewards close inspection and anchors a considered interior with quiet authority.

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.
