Our Story
A Heritage Woven Thread by Thread
Rooted in the royal city of Lucknow, preserving the art of hand-knotted carpet weaving for over three decades.
Since 1989
From the Imambaras to Your Living Room
Awadh Carpet began with one loom and one conviction: that a carpet made entirely by hand is worth the months it takes. Three decades later, that has not changed. Our weavers are the sons and daughters of our first weavers, working the same knots on the same kind of loom.
What has changed is who we make for. The medallions and vines that once covered court floors now sit under low sofas and glass tables — and they belong there just as well.
Milestones
Three Decades on the Loom
The moments that shaped how — and for whom — we weave.
The First Loom
A single vertical loom in a Lucknow courtyard, and one family determined to keep hand-knotting alive.
The Atelier
Twelve weavers, a dye house of our own, and the beginning of natural-dye work that still defines our palette.
Beyond India
Our first export order — a set of runners for a restored haveli hotel — opened the door to clients abroad.
The Modern Line
Hand-tufted contemporary rugs joined the catalogue, using the same wool and the same hands as our classics.
4,000+ Carpets
Over forty artisans on the looms, and carpets in homes across India, the Gulf, Europe and North America.
