Indian Rugs encompass a diverse range of regional styles and historical influences that set them apart within the wider world of carpet weaving. The collection includes both antique and contemporary handmade Indian rugs, many of which draw on centuries-old traditions from notable centres such as Jaipur and Agra. Designs frequently include Mughal floral motifs, abstracted foliage, or geometric borders, reflecting the lasting imprint of Persian aesthetics filtered through an Indian perspective. These patterns are often executed with a clarity and precision unique to Indian carpet weaving, combining balance and ornate detail.

Materials and techniques vary, but a hallmark of Indian rug making is a remarkable attention to knotting and finish. Many Indian wool rugs utilise high-quality, vegetable-dyed wool, which gives the pile a rich texture and nuanced colour palette. The hand-knotted craftsmanship ensures that each rug develops character and depth over time, suited to both traditional decorative schemes and thoughtful contemporary settings.

Indian oriental rugs hold a distinct place in UK interiors, valued not only for their visual impact but for their adaptability to understated or layered design approaches. Whether featuring the lush symmetry of Jaipur weaving tradition or evocative traditional Indian patterns, vintage Indian rugs in particular offer a tactile link to the subcontinent’s diverse artistic history. These pieces invite appreciation for both their technical achievement and the regional heritage they embody.
