General information

DESIGNED IN FRANCE
Difficult to define yet instantly recognisable, the very best in French carpet design can skip effortlessly from metropolitan chic to rustic charm – the common factor being a timeless style. Our designers work with three kinds of carpets: flatweave, with its characteristic striped and geometric pattern; woven pile, in which the pile yarn and backing are woven in one operation; and tufted, in which the yarn is inserted into a prewoven backing. Each type brings its own challenges and qualities.
Whether you choose an existing design from our extensive stock collections or prefer a completely bespoke option, our design team is committed to achieving the result you have in mind.

MADE IN ENGLAND
Manufacture of our carpets is carried out in England by skilled craftspeople and technicians. While many ranges are made using traditional methods and weaving looms, we are equally adept at employing the latest production technology if the project requires it.
We always use the best materials. Our hard-wearing, flatweave carpets, for example, are made exclusively from heavyweight woollen yarn spun in Yorkshire, and we undertook extensive research to source the finest silk for our luxurious wool and silk carpets.
Quality is paramount. Our production director approves every dye colour before it is released to the weaving mill – even if the colour has been used before. And all flatweave carpets are hand-finished by skilled menders who correct any imperfections.
