Complete your setup
Carpet design as a serious decorative practice was codified across the long stretch of West and Central Asia between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The neutral palette in this piece is a contemporary reading of that codified library.
A single hand worked the piece for 3 months at the vertical loom. Roughly 518K hand-tied knots, every one set against a vertical beam by feel. The wool is fine-micron New Zealand fleece, the long staple chosen because it spins to a smooth, even yarn that takes vegetable colour without the patchiness that lower-grade fibre produces. The dyes were taken from madder root, indigo, walnut hull, and pomegranate skin, each bath matured in copper vessels for a fortnight before the wool was lowered.
The composition
A central organising motif anchors the field, the neutral pulling the surrounding space into a single read. Vegetable colour does not arrive fixed. The reds will lighten by a half tone over the first decade, the indigos will deepen, the ivory will warm into bone. The rug arrives ready to begin that work.
What you are buying
The figure of ₹16,999 is set against the months of bench time the piece took to make. The price is essentially the cost of the labour and the fibre; equivalent work in any Western dealer inventory carries a structural multiple on top.
The piece in a room
2'6" × 8' (76 × 244 cm) is an accent piece, sized for an entryway, a reading corner, the area at the foot of a bed, or the floor between two facing chairs. The neutral concentrates the eye in a small footprint.
Conservation
The maintenance regime is simple but consistent: half-turn rotation at the seasons, suction vacuuming weekly, immediate blotting of liquids, and a specialist hand wash every five years. Treated this way the rug works for the better part of a century and acquires patina rather than wear.

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.
