Handmade Rugs
We offer authentic hand-knotted Persian, Afghan, and Turkish rugs crafted using traditional techniques. Each piece combines natural materials with intricate designs, providing durable flooring solutions that retain value over generations. Our collection includes tribal, village, and urban weaves suitable for both contemporary and classic interiors.
Kilim Cushions
Our cushions are repurposed from vintage Turkish and Afghan kilims, preserving original patterns and textures. Available in various sizes and configurations, these decorative items add cultural authenticity to living spaces while maintaining the durability of handwoven wool construction.
Suzani Embroideries
We supply hand-embroidered suzanis from Uzbekistan featuring traditional floral motifs on cotton or silk backgrounds. These wall hangings and drapes serve as statement decorative pieces, reflecting centuries-old Central Asian textile traditions adapted for modern interior applications.
Rug Underlays
Our non-slip underlays enhance rug longevity by preventing movement and reducing wear. Designed for both hard floors and carpets, these pads improve comfort underfoot while maintaining safety standards in residential and commercial environments.
