Grey Rugs Hand-Knotted – Wool & Silk – Buy Online

Expert Opinion

“Grey rugs are genuine all-rounders: they feel calm and elegant yet always make a stylish statement—whether in lofts, historic buildings or contemporary homes. Depending on light and material, they create subtle depth, shifting from gentle silver to striking anthracite, and are a perfect match for wood, marble, pastel and vibrant colours. Each piece is carefully selected for its unique character.”

What Are Classic Grey Rugs?

Classic rugs are handcrafted masterpieces using natural materials like new wool and silk, featuring refined patterns and traditional colour palettes.

Oriental Rugs: Handmade in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, India, China, Pakistan, or the Caucasus—grey shades are usually found as ground colours, within motifs or borders.
Persian Rugs: Especially new interpretations of Nain, Tabriz and Qom rugs offer beautiful grey hues paired with ivory, beige or soft blue.
Nomadic Rugs: Handwoven or hand-knotted, often featuring natural grey gradations from undyed wool—durable, from rustic and simple to uniquely artistic.

Material Guide: How Does the Material Affect Colour?

Fine Sheep’s Wool: Provides warm, inviting greys from pale through stone to anthracite; easy-care, climate-regulating and robust.
Wool with Silk: Accentuates a pearly silver-grey with shimmering depth; adds elegance to sophisticated interiors.
Wool with Viscose/Bamboo Silk: Very soft, refined gloss—wonderful for modern grey tones or statement designs.
Pure Natural Silk: Dramatic sheen and subtle iridescence in every light—perfect for luxury highlights and wall pieces.
Animal-Free Art Silk: Glossy and low-maintenance—usually pale, bright tones, ideal for contemporary décor.

Expert Tip: The more silk or viscose used in the pile, the greater the intensity of colour play and the silk sheen.
