A lifetime’s experience with antique carpets has helped transition into new carpet manufacturing bespoke hand made to individual requirements — be it straight replicas, moderated antique designs or entirely new concepts. The work also includes installation with staircases as a particular specialty. Most of our new carpets are produced in Turkey via our outpost in Istanbul but we occasionally commission work in Afghanistan and India. In Turkey the weaving is done using sustainable materials, notably natural dyes and hand spun wool using non-exploitative labour.
We work for and alongside respected individuals and companies in the decorative arts including Tom Fereday, Rifat Ozbek, Soane, Howe, Retrouvius and Tom Bell.

1. Initial Site Visit & Assessment
A site visit is arranged free of charge to take measurements and discuss functions
2. Customisation
We agree upon the design, discussing customisation and colourway combinations with colour charts for reference.
NB - due to vagaries associated with natural dyes, inevitable variations occur.
3. Bespoke Sample Produced (4-6 weeks)
Once your design and colour scheme has been chosen, we will have a bespoke sample made to specifications
4. Contract & Production
A 50% deposit is billed once the sample is approved. Once funds are received we then organise the order into production, which may take 3 to 9 months depending on the size. A very large 25 sq. metre carpet normally takes 8 months.
5. Installation / Delivery
The remaining outstanding 50% is billed and installation or delivery arranged.
* Prices include all deliveries, installation (where possible), underlay and vintage brass fittings if desired.
Staircases and some other instances might require the services of a fitting contractor.
