Hand-knotted rugs are created using an ancient weaving technique where skilled artisans tie individual knots onto a foundation loom to form the design. This labour-intensive method produces highly durable, intricate rugs that can last for generations.

Yes. Each rug is crafted by hand, knot by knot. You’ll notice individual knots and slight natural variations throughout the weave clear hallmarks of authentic hand-knotted craftsmanship.

Hand-knotted rugs are exceptionally durable and considered the gold standard for high-traffic areas. With proper care, they can last for decades and often become heirloom pieces that improve in character and value over time.

Dense knotting and quality fibres create a resilient pile suitable for daily use.
Care tips:
• Vacuum with suction only (avoid rotating brushes)
• Blot spills immediately
• Rotate seasonally for even wear
• For deep cleaning, consider professional rug washing
