Each rug is hand woven by highly skilled Tibetan rug weavers. Each rug is individually unique. It can take an average weaver 30 days to weave a square meter of a 100 knot rug and 20 days to weave a square meter of a 60 knot rug. It also depends on how many weavers are working on a rug. Between 1 and 5 weavers may work on rug simultaneously sitting side by side.
We hope that you enjoy perusing our galleries and we look forward to answering any enquiries that you may have.
