Hand knotted Tibetan wool. Price band 8. Carnival is a dramatic development of Paul's classic stripes, drawing inspiration from film transparencies and the vibrant movement of carnival dancers. The pattern is layered and complex and presents a particular challenge for our weavers in Nepal. This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the wool to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the highest quality wool for our rugs, that of the Tibetan sheep, for its durability, rich texture and subtle colour variation. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty, which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.
