Our Hand Knotted rugs are of the finest quality, with a weighty yet supple structure, and are crafted in a variety of high-quality materials. Made using a traditional asymmetrical knotting technique on an upright loom, each rug is meticulously constructed for exceptional longevity and refined detail - designed to retain its beauty and integrity over time. The dense pile adds depth and texture to the colours, while hand-carved motifs create a rich, three-dimensional profile.
Please note: Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, slight variations in size may occur, with a 5% tolerance.
Margo Selby x Christopher Farr
"When I’m designing a rug, I treat the format as my canvas to create a piece of functional art. I am thrilled to be working with Christopher Farr – who I revere as world leaders in the production of handcrafted luxury rugs.”
Margo Selby
“I have a lot of respect for Margo as a textile expert. Her high level of technical understanding, her prowess as a handweaver, allied to her innate sensibility as an artist is a pretty unbeatable combination. Margo is almost forensic in her colour combinations. It’s not just visual impact, but the colour theory behind the design.”
Matthew Bourne, Director Christopher Farr
Margo’s Vexillum series of artworks began as a commissioned installation for the Crafts Council’s annual international fair for contemporary craft and design at London’s Somerset House, and won the COLLECT Open Award 2020.

Rug Care + Underlay
We advise customers purchase our Rug Underlay to prevent their rug from creasing and slipping, whether it is placed on a carpet or a hard surface.
An underlay also increases the longevity of a rug by cushioning it. It protects against transference of dark colours or fibres from the back of the rug onto light coloured flooring or carpet underneath.
All of our rugs and underlay are suitable for underfloor heating.
