Over the years, the Hand-Knotted Kashmir Silk Carpet has been an indomitable and priceless treasure which the carpet connoisseurs have bought into their homes.

The element of luxury with which a Kashmir Silk Carpet is associated today is a marked contrast with its humble beginning among the nomadic tribes that once wandered the great expanse of Central Asia.

The history and development of the carpet industry in Kashmir has been associated and influenced by the opulent lifestyles of its rulers and the aristocracy.

The carpets were introduced into Kashmir in the 1400's and over the years the artisan there have developed various deigns, motifs, patters and decorative styles unique to Kashmir such as Shalimar, Shah Abbas, Star of Kashmir, Shikar-Gah and Pezli.

We also have a large collection in the Persian style such as Kashan, Bhaktiyar, Kum and Isfahan. These come in various rectangular sizes which can be used either as centre pieces or as runners.

Hand-Tufted & Hand-Loom carpets are very durable due to the right balance of the fibre used, yarn twist, pile height and the density.

They are usually made from a variety of combinations of fine Bikaner wool and New Zealand wool. They are also made of Viscose which gives a shiny silk type effect to the carpet.

These fibre are naturally fire retardant, especially wool which extinguishes itself when removed away from the flame. The yarn is also organic and renewable as wool is a natural produce and sheep are sheared annually for its wool. A high pile carpet also improves the acoustics of the room.

We provide a large range in hand-tufted and hand-loom construction in rugs and also in wall to wall carpets.

These Polyester Shag Rugs usually have a Hand-Tufted construction and could also be in Hand-loom variety.

These rugs come in contemporary designs and vibrant colours. You could choose from a range of high pile or extremely high pile polyester shag rugs of either a thin yarn or thicker yarn.

The Wall to Wall carpets are also know as Broadloom carpets as they are made on looms that are larger than the traditional hand looms. They are tufted carpets that come in Rolls of 3 meters to 4 meters in width.

The broadloom carpets come in a variety of fiber or yarn types and pile styles. They can have a much higher pile height giving a plush and luxurious feel to the installation. Unlike the carpet tiles where the seams are more easily seen, the wall to wall carpets appear virtually seamless.

Apart from the size, the backing of the carpet is another major difference. Whereas the carpet tiles have a stiff backing for easy of installation, the broadloom carpets are usually installed on a foam layer, creating a softer landing for the feet.

The wall to wall carpets usually are machine-made, but some can even be made on hand-loom or even hand-tufted.
