A Few Projects
Indavaho
After designing this new Pantry, the search was on for a hand-knotted rug that was perfectly sized to fit the space. ‘Indavaho’ – with its elongated center motif surrounded by a playful border – was selected for its layered dynamics that create visual movement into and out of the space and add a liveliness to an otherwise symmetrical and stable floor plan. The selected yarn colors were then pulled from the two-tone base and wall cabinets, the door, the door trim, and the floor color. The complementary pops of blue-green which show up in the adjacent room furnishings add further pizzaz.
This hand-knotted rug measures approx. 57” x 57” and is comprised of about 324,900 hand-tied knots. Both the size and the color palette can be customized.
Lake Winnipesaukee
This large 84”W x 57” H hand-knotted tapestry ‘Lake Winnipesaukee’ was inspired from a client’s vision to create a topographical representation of the lake where she resides in her summer home. The design is scaled to a very close approximation of the actual aerial view and is embellished with a border which combines both classical and whimsical motifs.
Installed in her high-ceilinged front entry, the tapestry is mounted on our custom designed and fabricated decorative headrail and frame. Various yarn colors in the tapestry as well as the two-tone paint colors of the headrail were pulled from the various finishes in the room.

Our Nepalese weavers hand-tied about 479,000 knots to bring this tapestry to life.
Coming and Going
A pair of 18”W x 27”H hand-knotted tapestries ‘Coming and Going’ are wall mounted on custom designed and fabricated headrails featuring recessed inserts of ‘bronze van Gogh antique glass’. The available wall space guided the size, and the symbolic subject matter was of particular interest in this project. The color palette was customized to the room furnishings.
​
The tapestry designs, inspired by some sort of ritual having to do with birth and death and the continual cycle of beginnings and endings, portray highly decorated onlookers slowly emerging onto the scene while two of them – from opposite sides – hold steady in their gaze upon one another.​​​​​​
