We deeply value the rugs we create and the people who make them. Every one of our designer rugs is 100% handmade, natural and sustainable, sourced directly from the rug makers overseas.
Can you bring together oriental/traditional styles with contemporary/modern designs? Does old work with new? Of course! Here we have a new contemporary rug (Jazz) from our Nalah collection, alongside a fine Tabriz. Both made in Afghanistan, but worlds a part in regard to style. However, if the colors, scale of design, and quality work well with one another, then it’s a sure win. Be open to the unexpected, and find a rhythm that works for you!

Our Dragon Fine Luxe Tribal rug is created in Afghanistan and features a brilliant display of bold colors and a rhythmic pattern of dragons that symbolizes strength, prosperity and good fortune. This piece stems from our Luxe Tribal collection and is based on a chic Oriental rug design. The wool used to make this rug comes from sheep bred in the mountainous Ghazni province, giving it incredible color and durability. Once sheared, the wool is hand spun and dyed with vegetable dyes before being hand knotted into this stunning piece. Available in 9’ x 11’-11”

Our rugs make exceptional foundations for interiors. They are a wonderful stepping stone that allow for your imagination to run wild with the most glamorous of ideas. Our Silk and Wool Knotted Moroccan Rib plays off brilliantly with our Ultimate Modern Luxe Wool Solid in Green. Both made to order in custom sizes in India.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with @pelliclarkeandpartners talking all things rugs last week! John Kebabian richly explained the art of hand-knotted and woven rug making, along with Kebabian’s role as importers in New Haven for the past five generations, and how we are continuing to evolve our business to respond to the modern desire for beautiful, hand-made rugs. We are so grateful for the studios avid engagement and curiosity in the art form that we so deeply cherish and care about. Thank you to all those that attended!
