Sculpted by Hand
Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.
The Indo-Nepali weaving tradition — forged in the Himalayan foothills and refined through decades of collaborative craftsmanship between Tibetan refugees and Indian master weavers — is celebrated for its masterful manipulation of pile height to create sculptural, relief-carved surfaces of remarkable tactile depth.
This piece presents an expansive allover composition in which robust peony and cabbage-rose blooms, lobed acanthus leaves, and sinuous vine scrolls unfurl continuously across a cool, flat steel-blue wool ground, the botanical motifs executed entirely in a raised antique gold pile that carries a subtle silk-like lustre, amplifying the carved contrast between field and pattern.
There is no formal border to contain the design — the flora push to the very edges of the rug in an unbounded, living-garden manner that reads as distinctly contemporary while drawing from classical Mughal and Renaissance herbaceous traditions. The palette is restrained to two tones only, which disciplines the composition and gives the piece an architectural clarity rarely achieved in allover floral work. This is a rug of quiet authority — one that anchors a room without competing with it, equally at home beneath a modernist interior as within a transitional setting where considered luxury is the prevailing language.
Large peony and rose blooms, acanthus-style lobed leaves, sinuous vine scrolls, and budding florettes rendered in a high-low carved relief technique with silk highlights creating luminous contrast against the matte wool ground
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.
