Sculpted by Hand
Hand-knotted by master artisans in Nepal and India.
The high-altitude workshops of Nepal have long been celebrated for producing some of the finest contemporary hand-knotted carpets, where Tibetan weaving traditions merge with modern design sensibilities to create pieces of exceptional refinement and durability.
This newly crafted example presents a striking minimalist composition featuring a luminous open field in deep burgundy, its rich wool and silk blend creating subtle tonal variations that catch light with quiet sophistication; the bold Greek key meander border in contrasting ivory articulates the perimeter with classical geometry, each spiral precisely knotted to maintain crisp linear definition against the saturated ground. A commanding piece that brings neoclassical gravitas to contemporary interiors while demonstrating the technical mastery of Himalayan carpet craft.

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.
