Heirloom rugs,
knotted by hand.

We measured twice and still worried the medallion would sit off centre under the sofa. It does not. The wine red reads darker in our north-facing room than it did on screen, which we prefer.

Bought for a draughty Victorian sitting room and the floor is now warm enough to sit on. The gold has a faded, almost sun-bleached quality that works with grey walls.

A practical dhurrie for a house near the water. It is lighter than I expected, so we added a pad to stop it walking across the tiles.

Ordered as a made-to-order piece and told to expect about six weeks; it arrived in five.

Four months, two children and one dog later it still looks new. The green medallion is the first thing everyone comments on. The delivery team carried it in and unrolled it, which I had not expected.

The ivory field is finer than anything we were shown in the showrooms here, and the drawing in the border is even at both ends.

Beautiful colour: it moves between green and blue as the light changes through the day.

Shipping to Australia took fourteen days, a little over the estimate, and the tracking was accurate the whole way. The rug is heavy and bold, and the maroon is warmer than a photograph can show.

We hung it rather than walked on it. At arm's length you begin to see the birds in the branches, each with an eye and a beak. The silk shifts from ruby to rose as you move past it.

A fine rug, and finer than our hallway deserved, so it lives in the sitting room instead. One end of the fringe was slightly uneven and the team offered to have it trimmed; we have left it as it is.

Our corridor is nearly thirteen feet and most runners stop at ten. This one leaves a hand's width of floor at each end, which looks deliberate.

We needed a round rug under a round table and had nearly given up.

For the price I expected something thin and shiny. It is thin, being machine-made, but the pattern is sharp and the indigo is a proper blue rather than purple.

Plain stripes in wool, which is harder to find than it should be. The gold and maroon are muted and the weave is even from end to end. Packed in three layers and delivered nine days after ordering.

Flat, light and easy to lift for cleaning, which was the point. It travels on a polished floor, so budget for an underlay as well.

I first saw this lattice pattern in a museum catalogue and did not expect to own one. The yellow is clear, the red is strong and the drawing does not wander along the length.

The faded look is woven rather than printed: the colour sits differently along the rows, which is what we wanted for an old house. It is softer than a new rug and quieter underfoot.

Bought for a small bedroom and it does the work of a much larger rug. The indigo is deep and the ivory has not yellowed under a west window. The silk in the pile gives a faint shine in the evening.

Second rug from the same loom, bought a year apart, and the reds match, which I had not taken for granted. It is dense enough that furniture legs leave a mark for an hour rather than a month.

Honest about what it is: a machine-made rug that looks better than its price. There was a faint new-rug smell for the first three days, which aired out on the balcony.

The millefleur drawing is dense and the maroon does not shout across the room. It was packed with a certificate and arrived a week before the date we were given.

A plain jute round for an entrance nook, and it has done exactly what we hoped. It shed a little for the first fortnight, which the care note warns about, and then stopped.
