Complete your setup
The composition is built around the floral arrangement. Everything else in the rug works in service of it. The palette of blue sits inside that geometry without competing with it, the way a quiet ground holds a strong figure in a print.
The piece was hand-knotted in India over 3 months by 2 to 3 weavers. Wool pile, cotton foundation, hand-spun yarn dyed in small batches and lowered into vats one skein at a time. The finishing was done by hand with long shears so the relief between figure and ground reads clearly across the room.
The composition
The floral arrangement runs across a blue field. The single-tone composition lets the geometry do the work, and the wool's natural variation carries the eye. Over the first ten years the colour shifts subtly as the wool releases lanolin and the pile compacts, and the rug arrives ready to start that ageing rather than stop it.
What you are buying
A hand-knotted wool piece at this price is unusual in the trade and represents the workshop's direct-to-buyer position. Equivalent rugs in Western retail run at twice or three times this figure. The piece holds its character through years of use rather than wearing out.
The piece in a room
At 5' x 8' (152 x 244 cm) the rug centres a coffee table with a primary sofa above, or runs under a queen bed with the bedside tables on the field. The colour holds its place against painted walls in any neutral tone, and rewards a strong accent piece in the room. The palette sits comfortably with mid-tone wood, polished brass, and oiled leather. Keep upholstery quiet so the rug holds the line.
Conservation
Turn the rug end for end each spring and autumn. Vacuum weekly, suction only, no brush bar. Lift spills with a dry cotton cloth, never rub, and follow with a damp cloth and a drop of mild wool wash if the spill carries colour. A specialist hand-wash every five years restores the lustre. The rug is built to last several generations under reasonable use.

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.
