The pile is a deliberate blend: \u003cstrong\u003e60% Matka silk from China\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e40% Tibetan highland wool\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatka silk is a hand-reeled silk made from broken cocoons of the silkworm, which gives it a slightly nubbly, irregular texture and a soft, deep lustre — quite different from the glassy shine of standard reeled silk. Tibetan highland wool, harvested from sheep that live at altitude, brings length, lanolin, and remarkable resilience to the pile. The combination is what gives this rug its hand: soft, substantial, and quietly luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the signatures of our Nepalese workshops is the use of \u003cstrong\u003ehand-spun yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e. The slight irregularity in yarn thickness that hand-spinning produces gives the surface its living quality — the soft variation in colour saturation that machine-spun yarn cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is \u003cstrong\u003e9–12 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e high, and the design plays with that: the wool areas are sheared shorter, while the silk motifs are left taller. The result is a subtle \u003cstrong\u003ethree-dimensional surface\u003c\/strong\u003e — the gold silk ornament rises in slight relief against the matte black wool ground, catching the light and adding depth that flat-pile rugs cannot achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eDesign: Maharaja Ornament, Reimagined\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is an opulent allover Maharaja-style pattern — large oval medallion cartouches, pearl-edged arches, stylised vases, and crown- or diadem-like ornaments laid out across the field with the kind of jewelled density found in Indian court textiles.
