Hand-knotted rugs in the Silk Route

Everything is connected. From a mere leaf falling onto the ground to NASA launching a satellite, the domino effect eventually takes over everything. Little did the Turkish nomads know that something that they used to do to amuse themselves would take over the world someday. Today, a major share of the decor market is acquired by carpets. If you are reading this blog, then you already know the magic carpets have. One can simply place a rug in any interior and make it a whole. Since the past century, we have been carrying the legacy that was passed onto us by the Mughal artisans as a domino effect. There is just something about handmade articles that cannot be described. The story, the essence, the dedication, and perfection each handmade piece holds are beyond words. 

Art is the basis of everything. Everything that has been envisioned, designed, and brought to life in any way is initially hand-drawn/digitally drawn or ideated.  The basis of art is inspiration. Similar to how an apple falling from a tree inspired Newton, everything that exists/ever existed inspires art. 

Inspired by something that existed centuries ago, a trade route- The Silk Road, we have launched a new collection of carpets- The Silk Route. In our previous blog, we had given you detailed information about the collection. A mix of traditions, cultures, regions, and art forms on a carpet canvas, the Silk Route aims to induce a vintage appeal in modern homes. In the collection, we have both hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs. In this blog, let's explore the hand-knotted options.

1.       Chaman- This is a fine hand-knotted piece from the collection. Available in many sizes, starting at 6x4, the rug is fit for every space. True to its name, the rug seems nothing less than a beautiful garden. With a dominance of the red color on the canvas, the rug features Turkish and Persian motifs. Enhancing the room both visually and the vibe in the surroundings, the Chaman rug would be a durable addition to any space. With international-grade wool in its construction, the rug comes with extra comfort.

2.       Ravayat- Floral patterns combined with elements of the Turkish art, on a black canvas complemented by a blue border, make the Ravayat rug one of a kind. Versatile to blend in every space, the rug features a vibrant color palette. A perfect compilation showing the interconnectedness of the cultures found at the Silk Road, the Ravayat is a statement-making piece. Hand-knotted using the wool fibre of the highest quality, the rug is durable and comfortable underfoot. The rug not only breaks the stereotype with its bold shades, but it also emerges as a tapestry.

3.       Herati- The Buddhist influence of Leh can be seen on the carpet canvas with the soothing shades and patterns of the Herati rug. Light beige and faded rustic hues lend a personality to the rug. Hand-knotted using superior quality wool, the rug is durable and comfortable underfoot. Suited for the Indian household, the colors of the rug are chosen accordingly. In the living room or the entrance hall, the rug will fill the space with a vintage yet royal zeal.
