Can statement rugs be handwoven?
Yes. Handwoven rugs can create strong statement effects using pattern, yarn thickness, colour and surface texture.

Can irregular-shaped statement rugs be produced?
Selected manufacturers can produce curved, organic and irregular rug shapes, particularly in hand-tufted constructions.

A high-low rug uses different pile heights to create dimensional texture and visual depth across the design.
What is rug carving?
Carving involves trimming around design areas to create sharper separation and a sculpted appearance.

Can I request a sample before ordering?
