Scroll to unroll · hover or touch the rug for its knots
Every rug belongs to one of four families. Choose one to pull its rugs forward and lay the first of them on the floor above.
Every rug here is on our wall in Jaipur. Unroll any of them on the floor above, or lay it out to scale in your own room below.
MedallionNo. 01
Hand-spun wool · madder and indigo dyes
A stepped medallion in madder red, held by an indigo border of small rosettes. The field shifts a shade between dye lots, the way a hand-dyed rug should.
MedallionNo. 02
Hand-spun wool · indigo vat, three dips
Deep indigo, dipped three times for a deep, even blue, with a madder border and an ivory heart. Large enough to sit a whole sofa and two chairs on.
MedallionNo. 03
Undyed wool field · madder border
An ivory field of natural, undyed wool around a pale medallion, framed in madder. Quiet in a bright room, warm under a reading lamp.
GulNo. 04
Hand-spun wool · madder, walnut-husk brown
Rows of quartered guls on a madder ground, joined by a thin dark line the way the old Turkmen rugs are. Reads as a pattern from the door and as knots up close.
GulNo. 05
Hand-spun wool · weld yellow, madder
A small rug in a turmeric-gold field with madder and plum guls. For the foot of a bed, a study or the space in front of a sofa.
GulNo. 06
Hand-spun wool · indigo, undyed ivory
Ivory guls on an indigo ground, with a sand border. The blue is a little uneven across the length, because each skein went into the vat on a different day.
DhurrieNo. 07
Cotton warp, wool weft · reversible
A flatwoven dhurrie in bands of indigo and ivory with stepped diamonds. No pile, so it lies flat under a door and turns over when one side has had enough sun.
DhurrieNo. 08
Cotton warp, wool weft · tasselled ends
Turmeric yellow with madder teeth and tassels at both ends. Light enough to shake out on the balcony and roll up for the summer.
DhurrieNo. 09
Cotton warp, wool weft · reversible
A large dhurrie in brick red and ivory, its diamond bands taken from the floor of an old Jaipur courtyard. Made for dining rooms and terraces.
RunnerNo. 10
Hand-spun wool · madder and indigo
A long runner of stepped lozenges in madder and indigo, for a corridor or the side of a bed. The border keeps the pattern from wandering off the edge.
RunnerNo. 11
Hand-spun wool · ash grey, madder
Ash grey with madder lozenges, low and dense so a chair slides over it. For the strip of floor in front of the counter where everybody stands.
RunnerNo. 12
Hand-spun wool · madder, walnut brown
Four metres of madder and walnut brown for a long passage or a staircase landing. Knotted in one piece on a long loom, never joined.
No rugs in this collection right now.
Set your room’s width and length, pick a living room, bedroom or dining room, and each rug is drawn to scale under the furniture.
A common rule of thumb: leave 30–60 cm of floor showing between rug and wall, and let at least the front legs of the sofa rest on the rug.
A rug of 170 × 240 cm is around five lakh knots. This is how they get tied.
Hand-spun wool goes into madder root for reds and an indigo vat for blues, dipped again and again until the shade is right.
Cotton warp threads are strung tight on an upright loom, as many as the rug has knots across.
Reading from a graph, the naksha, a weaver ties each knot around two warps, cuts it and beats the row down.
Off the loom, the rug is washed in the Jaipur yard, dried in the sun and clipped by hand until the pattern sits crisp.
The showroom is upstairs in our Jaipur studio, with every rug on the wall and a floor to lay them on. Write to us about a size, a colour or a rug for a particular room.
