{"title":"Silk rugs","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSilk rugs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk rugs have always been the pinnacle of textile artistry: surfaces that capture light, transform it and release it back into the room with a sheen no other natural fibre can match. As you may well know, from the Persian looms of the Safavid era to the courts of Europe, oriental rugs in silk were never mere floor coverings, but works of art to be handed down from generation to generation. Our collection of luxury rugs in silk grows out of that very heritage: each piece is designed in Italy and hand-knotted by master artisans, with selected fibres, high knot density and the option to customise size, palette and pattern. On this page you will discover why silk is the most precious fibre for a rug, how our pieces come to life, how to tell it apart from plant-based alternatives and how to commission a bespoke piece for your project.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"roducts-the-swallowtail-hand-knotted-wool-silk-tencel-rug","title":"The Swallowtail | Hand-Knotted Wool, Silk and Tencel Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Swallowtail hand-knotted rug, wool, silk and Tencel.

And then there are pieces that transform the entire visual register of a room, and this botanical floral rug belongs firmly in the second category. The all-over composition — open roses, wildflowers, buds, trailing branches, lance-shaped leaves — fills every centimetre of the surface with a vitality that recalls the great decorative textiles of twentieth-century European design. This is not a repeated pattern: it is a composition, with its own internal balance between chromatic masses and painterly voids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of wool and art silk, a high-lustre plant-based fibre, is far from accidental. Wool brings body, resilience, and the tactile warmth that only a natural fibre can deliver. Art silk captures light differently from wool: it creates micro-reflections that shift with the angle of view, lending depth to the colour and a sense of movement to the surface. The result is a rug that seems to glow from within, particularly in the areas of cobalt blue and antique rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-knotted construction represents the apex of textile craftsmanship. Every knot is tied individually by skilled artisans on a vertical loom, one at a time, with no mechanical shortcuts. Knot density determines the definition of the pattern: the finer the quality, the crisper and more precise the floral outlines. The high and low finish adds a sculptural dimension to the piece, with alternating zones of longer and shorter pile creating a relief effect that registers both visually and underfoot. Combined with the loop and pile texture, alternating closed loops with cut tufts, the surface actively invites touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette, dominated by cobalt blue with accents of pink, burgundy, lilac, white, and ochre, follows its own painterly logic rooted in botanical illustration. It recalls Liberty textile designs, Chinoiserie wallpapers, and the great Persian floral carpets, without imitating any of them: the line is freer, more contemporary, almost Impressionist in spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: as with every hand-knotted artisan piece, slight variations in yarn tonality and knot density are an inherent part of the manufacturing process.
