DESIGN
We have a myriad of designs to choose from, or we can translate your design ideas into the right scale for your rooms.
COLOR & MATERIALS
We use only sustainable handspun, all natural, high lanolin sheep's wool and have 'color blanket' samples from which to choose just the right shades. We can also mix colors to achieve the effect you are looking for.
WEAVE
We can guide you to select the knot count that the design you choose needs. A more detailed design may call for a finer knot count. A more relaxed open design may look best with a looser weave.
TYPE
Are you thinking of a waterfront, cottage look? Or something more classic and traditional? Or perhaps an ethnic or tribal design? You may also choose a flat weave kilim, a close piled rug or a plushy dense rug to suit your taste.
SIZE
The most distinct advantage of custom pieces is that they can be any size or shape. We are the contemporary and oriental carpet design specialists in Maine, producing oversize pieces up to 24 by 30 feet.
TIMEFRAME
Handmade pieces take anywhere from as little as 4-6 months to complete depending on the weave and the type of rug or kilim you choose. All of our custom clients find the wait to be worth it to get exactly what they want.
COST
Often custom pieces are not much more expensive than ready made, they just take time to achieve.
"We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting."
