Authenticity
Each carpet is unique and a certified original woven by expert craftsmen. Hand crafting a wool/silk oriental rug is a painstaking process, spread over many months of very diligent work. These are not machine made carpets that can be mass produced. They may copy the design but lack the character and quality of a handmade rug. It's like taking an original work of art and then printing thousands of copies.

Premium Quality
Build your enduring legacy....
Our carpets are original hand knotted cut pile rugs. Each rug is created with either single knot density or double knot density. In general double knot rugs are more expansive than their single knot counterparts. Knot density, defined as knots per square inch, is one of the indicators of carpet quality.
We build quality into our process. It starts with the creation of the carpet's motif, checking that the pattern is in sync with the size of the rug. We check to make sure that the chosen colors enhance the beauty of the carpet. We pay attention to the materials being used for the rug. During the weaving process we inspect to make sure that the symmetry and alignment are being maintained as much as possible. We also make sure that dying process replicates the colors that were chosen during the design phase. We inspect for color fade and other imperfections. We measure the knot density to make sure that it adheres to the stated knot density.
