Complete your setup
The composition in front of you belongs to a tradition of drawing that has migrated across four centuries of Persian, Anatolian, and Indian workshops. The pattern reads as a single composed field. This piece is hand-knotted in India.
A single weaver shared the loom for about three months. The pile is hand-spun wool and silk, knotted by feel against a vertical beam on a cotton foundation. The dye palette was prepared in small batches before the wool was lowered into the vats, the way every long-lived carpet has been finished for two hundred years. The cartoon was followed loosely; small hand-driven irregularities in the field are the signature of a piece woven without a power-driven aid.
The composition
A composition built around a composed pattern. The grey ground holds the field together; the secondary tones do the figuration. The colour will not stay still over the next decade. Saturations will soften, the deeper tones will warm, and the rug will arrive at a quieter register than it begins with. That movement is the point.
What you are buying
What you are paying for is the weeks of weaver-time, the hand-spun wool and silk, the dye work, and the design lineage. Comparable antique pieces in good condition trade well above this price in the international market. The rug appreciates with careful use rather than depreciating.
The piece in a room
The 2' × 3' (61 × 91 cm) format suits an entry mat or layered accent piece. The grey palette holds against ivory, warm white, or oak-panelled walls, and the rug pairs cleanly with walnut and rosewood furniture, leather seating, brass and bronze accents, linen drapery without competing for the room. Layering a smaller wool or hide over a corner gives the room a second register without breaking the main field.
Conservation
Treat the rug as a long-lived object. Rotate seasonally to even out light and footfall. Vacuum weekly with suction only. Spot-clean spills with a damp cotton cloth. Schedule a professional hand wash every five to seven years. The carpet outlasts the room it was bought for.

Day-to-day care
- Vacuum gently once a week without a rotating brush bar — use the suction-only setting on hand-knotted or hand-tufted pieces.
- Rotate the rug 180° every 3-6 months so foot traffic and sunlight wear is even.
- Use a quality rug pad underneath for slip resistance and to extend life.
- Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub. Work from the edge of the spill inward.
Deep cleaning
- Professional dry-cleaning is recommended every 12-24 months for hand-knotted carpets.
- Avoid steam cleaners and hot water on natural-fibre rugs (wool, silk, jute) — they can cause shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- For washable flat-weaves and cotton dhurries, machine-wash on a gentle cold cycle in a mesh bag.
Storage
- Roll (do not fold) the carpet around a clean cardboard tube, pile-side in.
- Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting (not plastic) and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
- Use moth-protection sachets if storing wool for more than a season.

Frequently asked
How long will shipping take?
Most metros (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) receive their order in 3-5 business days. Tier-2 cities take 5-7 business days, and remote pin codes (J&K, North-East, Andamans) take 7-10 business days. Use the pin-code checker above for a concrete delivery date.
Will the colour exactly match the photo?
Each carpet is hand-crafted with natural-dye yarns, so a small variation in shade, pattern density, and tone is expected and is part of the authenticity of a handmade piece. Colours on screen also vary by monitor and lighting. If you are matching a specific decor, request a yarn sample before ordering.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes — we send 2-3 small yarn / pile samples for ₹500 (refundable against your purchase). Message us on WhatsApp with the SKU and your shipping pin code to arrange a sample.
What is your returns process?
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery in original condition (rolled, not folded; no pet hair, smoke, or stains). Email care@rugsville.in or message us on WhatsApp with your order number — we arrange free reverse pickup in most pin codes. Refunds are processed within 3-5 working days of receipt at our warehouse.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Custom-size, custom-colour, and custom-design hand-knotted carpets typically take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Minimum custom-order size is 4'×6'. Send us your brief on WhatsApp with the room photo and dimensions for a quote.
