A Work of Art Made by 180 Hands

Jaipur Rugs is a renowned trademark for quality and design across the world. Bringing together the 2500-year-old weaving tradition with state-of-the-art attention to sustainability and design, it is the original Indian rug made contemporary.

In the 16th century, artisans in the Jaipur area adopted Persian weaving techniques and reinterpreted them according to their creativity. A unique style of carpet weaving was born.
Today, we follow the same virtuous procedure to make our rugs.

Carding & Spinning

Our carefully selected wool becomes yarn in the hand of the Katwaris, artisans that layer its strands together, remove dirt and knots, and finally channel centuries of Indian tradition on a charka, a spinning wheel.

Dyeing

Yarn is wound on a wheel-like frame, and dipped and kept into boiling hot vats of dye to embed its intended color, then hung to dry in the sun. At Jaipur Rugs, we dye yarn to over 3000 colors.

Weaving

Following a millennial tradition coming from Persia, weavers sit down at the loom and spend up to one year hand-knotting their patterns, line after line, with meticulous attention to detail.

Washing

Washers methodically pour water, and a mild cleansing solution to remove the dirt every carpet has attracted. Each stroke flushes out what is unnecessary and, at the same time, increases the strength of the underlying knots.

Gultarash

Gultarash is a specific technique that translates to “finding the flower” since it was originally used to create a high-low effect that made the flower patterns pop out. Today it is used to highlight motifs or patterns and create a textural effect.

The masterpieces in our collections are the handknotted rugs. If you turn one upside down, you will notice countless tiny knots looking like pixels in a photograph. The more knots you see fit in a square inch, the longer it took for the artisan to weave the rug, and the more precious the rug.

Persian Knot

Formed by wrapping the yarn once around a warp and then
passing it under the neighboring warp strand, it creates a fine
weave.

Tibetan Knot

A weaving technique acquired from Tibet. The yarn is looped around two warps and around a rod. After the rod is covered with loops, a cut is made to form a pile and remove the rod.
