Stylish Rugs Collection

Silk-Look Rugs

Silk-Look Rugs — the sheen of silk, honestly labelled

We do not currently sell genuine silk rugs. Everything in this collection is our silk-look / silk-touch tier: high-density machine-woven Persian-design rugs at 2 Million Points construction, with the luminous surface and soft hand-feel that silk is loved for — at a fraction of the price. We plan to introduce genuine silk pieces in the future, and when we do we will label them clearly and separately. Until then, nothing on this page is silk.

How our rugs are made

  • This collection is machine-woven (power-loomed) in Türkiye, imported directly by container to the United States and cleared through U.S. Customs with Türkiye as the declared country of origin.
  • Hand-finished. Fringes are attached and finished by hand, edges are hand-serged or hand-bound, and fine border detailing is completed by hand after weaving.
  • Hand-knotted Afghan carpets are shown by appointment at our Sacramento showroom, and are not part of the online catalog. See the hand-knotted collection →
  • “Persian,” “Kashan,” “Qom” are design names — standard trade vocabulary for the pattern, not a claim about origin or materials.

What actually gives these rugs their sheen

Two things: density and fibre. At roughly two million points per square metre the pile resolves fine floral scrollwork, medallion interiors and layered borders that lower-density weaves smear together. The refined blended pile then catches light along the pile direction the way silk does — the rug shifts between lighter and deeper as you walk around it. It is a visual effect, achieved by construction rather than by material, and we would rather explain it than let the word “silk” do the work.

Understanding silk in rugs — so you can shop anywhere with confidence

  • Pure silk (Hereke, Qom, Isfahan) — 100% silk pile, hand-knotted, 800–2,000+ KPSI, often signed. Genuinely $8,000–$60,000+. If someone offers you one for a few hundred dollars, it is not silk.
  • Wool-silk blend — hand-knotted wool field with silk highlights. Typically $3,500–$18,000.
  • Bamboo silk (viscose rayon) — a plant-based fibre with real sheen but low durability; often marketed simply as “silk.” Best in low-traffic rooms.
  • Silk-look machine-woven — what this collection is. Durable, washable, colourfast, and priced accordingly.

Buying Guide

How to Choose the Right Rug for Your Home

A fine rug should feel beautiful, balanced, and practical for the way you live. Use this quick guide to choose the right size, color, material, and style.

Choose the Right Size

For living rooms, 8×10 or 9×12 usually frames the seating area. For dining rooms, choose a rug that extends at least 24 inches beyond the table.

Match Your Color Story

Burgundy and gold create a warm traditional look. Navy and cream feel elegant and modern. Ivory, beige, and soft tones help brighten smaller rooms.

Understand Rug Quality

Machine-made rugs offer consistent patterns, durability, and easier maintenance. Higher density and detailed weaving create sharper designs.

Shop by size

Not sure what fits? In a living room the rug should reach 18–24 inches past each side of the sofa. In a dining room, allow 24 inches beyond every chair so the chairs stay on the rug when they are pulled out.

Practical buying notes

What to know before buying a machine-made rug

Construction

The online catalog is power-loomed in Türkiye with hand-attached fringes and hand-finished edges. Each product page lists the exact construction, density, pile height and material.

Material & feel

A polypropylene pile on a cotton warp and weft — soft underfoot, colourfast, and far more forgiving of traffic and spills than wool.

Cleaning

Colourfast and water-safe, so a rug can be washed at home by hand or with a carpet-cleaning machine. Never in a washing machine or dryer. Day to day, vacuum on low with the beater bar off.

Best rooms

Living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, family rooms and majlis seating — anywhere you want a traditional look that survives daily use.

Hand-knotted

Genuine hand-knotted Afghan carpets are shown at the Sacramento showroom by appointment. They are not part of this online catalog.

Common questions

How much is shipping, and how long does it take?

Shipping is free on orders over $110 across the USA and Canada, and a flat $20 below that. Orders leave within one business day and arrive in 3–5 business days in the U.S. Sacramento-area online orders get free local delivery in 1–2 days.

What is your return policy?

30-day returns on online orders. Items must be unused, in original condition and in original packaging. The customer pays return shipping; if a rug arrives damaged or faulty, we pay. Approved refunds are processed within 3–7 business days.

Are these rugs machine-made or hand-knotted?

The online catalog is power-loomed (machine-woven) in Türkiye, with hand-attached fringes and hand-finished edges. Every product page lists the exact construction, density, pile height and material. Hand-knotted Afghan pieces are shown at the Sacramento showroom by appointment and are not listed online.

Can a rug be cut or bound to a different size?

We sell from stock rather than weaving to order, and the largest size we carry is 10×13. What we do in house is cutting, binding, overlocking and fringe work on a rug we already stock, so an existing piece can be trimmed to fit an alcove or a stair run. Ask us and we will tell you what is on the floor.

Can I see the rugs in person before buying?

Yes. The showroom is at 3423 Watt Avenue, Sacramento, open daily 10:00 AM – 7:30 PM. We speak English, Turkish, Farsi, Dari, Pashto and Urdu, and the team can help with size and colour choices.
