Rug & Carpet Shop

Hand-Knotted Rugs, Delivered Across Europe

Every rug in this shop is a piece we hold in stock and photograph ourselves. Most are hand-knotted Persian rugs woven in Iran, alongside a smaller number of Nepali, Pakistani and Indian pieces, and a range of modern machine-made rugs for rooms that need something hard-wearing.

A hand-knotted rug is made by a person, not a machine, so no two are ever quite the same. The rug in the photographs is the exact rug that arrives at your door — not one example of a production run. Delivery is door to door and free on every order, and the price on the listing is the price you pay: within Spain and the rest of the EU no import charges arise at all, and for destinations outside the EU — Norway, for example — we cover the import duties and taxes ourselves. Machine-made and hybrid rugs ship within the EU customs zone.

Finding the Right Rug

The collection runs to a few hundred pieces at any one time, so the filters are there to cut it down to the handful that suit your room. You can narrow by:

• Size — from around 70 cm on the shortest side to 290 cm on the longest, or roughly 0.8 to 5 m². Filter to the centimetre, or start from the size of the room you have in mind.
• Colour — the dominant colours and the highlight tones are recorded separately for every rug, so you can match a piece to a floor or a wall rather than guessing from one photograph.
• Material — most pieces are wool rugs; a smaller group is woven in wool and silk, where the silk catches the light in the pattern.
• Origin and region — Nain, Kerman, Tabriz, Baluch, Sumak and the other weaving regions, each with its own palette and knotting tradition.
• Style — classic, modern, rustic, patchwork, kilim and sumak, plain, geometric or floral.

What Every Listing Tells You

Buying a rug you cannot stand on first only works if the listing is honest about the object. Each one carries the measured dimensions in centimetres and in feet and inches, the pile height in millimetres, the knot density, the weight, the materials in the pile and the foundation, and the weaving region. The photographs are of that rug, in daylight, including the back — where the knots of a genuinely hand-knotted piece are visible.

If you already own an oriental rug and want to know what it is worth, our rug valuation service works from photographs you upload, wherever you are.
