In the age of mass produced decor what stands out are items that bear the unique touch of human hands. Hand embroidered rugs are a great example they are functional floor coverings that are also works of art. Made using traditional methods and vivid cultural designs these rugs bring warmth, personality, and sophistication to any living space.
Much beyond home accessories we present hand embroidered rugs which are a blend of tradition, skill and creativity. At Casavani Homes and other artisan driven brands we celebrate their unique design details and authentic craft.
What Are Hand Embroidery Rugs?
Hand sewn rugs are textile art pieces which are created with decorative stitching by hand. We see that hand embroidery is a time intensive slow process which each stitch is a display of the artisan’s expertise and skill. These rugs are usually made from natural fibers like wool, cotton or jute and then hand stitched with colorful threads which in turn present floral, geometric, or tribal patterns.
The result is a rug that is visual stunning and also has a unique texture and is a single piece.
The Hand Embroidery Process
Creating of hand embroidered rugs is a labor intensive process which may stretch out over the course of many days or even weeks. This is what happens in the creation of these beautiful rugs.
1. Basic Material Preparation
At first you choose your base material which is to be a wool or flatwoven cotton rug. This foundation is a strong yet flexible surface for stitching.
2. Creating the design
A design may be put on the fabric as it is created or drafted out first to be put in at a later time. To traditional motifs may be included regional patterns, nature inspired imagery, or modern abstract elements. The design is key it sets the tone for the entire rug.
3. Hand Sewing
Artisans hand sewn designs into the rugs with needle and thread. We see in them the chain stitch, the satin stitch, and the running stitch which each bring their own visual and textural element. The thread used is mainly cotton, silk, or wool which we find in very bright natural colors.
4. Outlines and Polishing
Once we finish the embroidery we put the rug through a careful washing and pressing process then we finish it off. Edges may be bound or fringed for a decorative touch. We do final quality checks which see to it that each rug meets in terms of wear resistance and aesthetic detail.
