Woven through generations
Persian rugs collected for the homes of today.
A rug is never just a rug.
Every carpet carries the city it came from, the hands that made it, and the years it took.
Hand-knotted.
No machine has touched it.
Natural wool.
Spun from highland fleece, dyed with plants.
Thousands of knots.
Tied one at a time, row by row.
Made to outlive trends.
And most of the furniture around it.

A geography of craft
Nine weaving cities, nine dialects of the same language. Wool, water, altitude and workshop tradition decide how a rug is drawn long before the first knot is tied.

Madder MedallionThe border is where a Tabriz weaver shows their hand. Follow the vine: it never repeats exactly, and the small hesitations are the record of a person, not a machine.
No. 02
Ivory GardenA rare quiet Kashan. Most are red; this one was woven for a room that already had enough to say.
No. 03
Terracotta HerizHeriz wool is famously tough — the mountain water around Tabriz makes it so. This piece has held a hundred years of footsteps and barely noticed.
Meet the makers
Thousands of knots. One human story.
The people who make these rugs are not folk curiosities. They are specialists — dyers who read a fleece by hand, designers trained for a decade, weavers who can hold a pattern in their head for a year.
We buy directly wherever we can, pay at the workshop, and name the region and maker whenever the piece allows it. Where a rug is old enough that its weaver is unknown, we say so plainly.

A seed, a cypress bent by wind, an eternal flame. The ancestor of the paisley.
