Commission a Unique Hand-Knotted Persian Rug Made Exclusively for You

Your Vision, Hand-Knotted in Persia

Los Angeles Home of Rugs maintains one of the largest collections of vintage, antique, and one-of-a-kind hand-knotted Persian rugs in California, with over 3,000 pieces available to ship immediately. However, if you are unable to find exactly what you are looking for in our existing inventory, we can create a completely unique custom rug made exclusively for you.

Our custom weaving service connects you directly with expert master weavers from Persia working in high-level professional workshops. Whether you want to capture a cherished memory, reproduce a specific design, incorporate your company logo, or simply commission a rug in dimensions or colors that do not exist in our ready-to-ship collection, our team will guide you through every step of the process from initial concept to final delivery.

What Makes Our Custom Rugs Exceptional

100% Hand-Knotted

Every custom rug is individually hand-knotted knot by knot by master craftspeople in Persia, never machine-made or hand-tufted.

Hand-Spun Vegetable-Dyed Wool

Our standard custom rugs use 100% hand-spun, vegetable-dyed wool for natural color depth and lasting durability. Bright synthetic colors are also available on request.

Exceptional Knot Density

Our custom rugs are woven with 2,500 to 10,000 knots per square decimeter (161 to 645 knots per square inch). Silk rugs can achieve even higher knot counts.

Any Design, Any Size, Any Color

We can work from any digital design, photograph, logo, artwork, or original concept. Custom sizing is available for any dimension, standard or non-standard.

Progress Updates

While your rug is being woven, we send you photographs and videos directly from the workshop for your review and approval at every stage of production.

Certificate of Authenticity

Every completed custom rug comes with a Certificate of Authenticity documenting its origin, materials, dimensions, and the expert who authenticated the piece.

The Custom Weaving Process

Creating your custom Persian rug is a clearly structured process. Here is exactly what to expect from your first inquiry to final delivery:

1
Submit Your Design and Requirements

Share your design, photograph, logo, or concept with our team along with your required dimensions and color preferences. You can use any digital image, artwork, or original design as the basis for your custom rug. If you have a general concept but no finished artwork, our design team can assist you in developing it.

2
Design Preparation and Color Mapping

We begin by shaping and scaling your design to the exact dimensions you require and mapping out the color palette. This stage produces the technical weaving cartoon, a grid-based blueprint in which each square represents a single knot, that the weavers will follow throughout the knotting process.

3
Your Approval Before Weaving Begins

Before a single knot is tied, we send you the complete design rendering including the final measurements and color palette for your review and written approval. No weaving begins until you are fully satisfied with the design. This step ensures complete alignment between your vision and the final product.

4
Hand-Knotting in Persia

The approved design is printed on paper and sent to our professional master weavers in Persia. The hand-knotting process then begins, which is the most time-consuming stage of production. An experienced weaver ties each individual knot at an average of one every two seconds. Depending on the size and complexity of your design, the weaving process can take several months to over a year.

Our rugs are woven with 2,500 to 10,000 knots per square decimeter (161 to 645 knots per square inch). Silk rugs can achieve even higher knot densities.

5
Progress Updates Throughout Production

While your rug is being hand-knotted, we send you photographs and videos directly from the workshop at key stages of production. You can review the work in progress and confirm that it is proceeding exactly as intended. Our craftspeople meticulously complete every stage of the weaving process, ensuring the highest possible standard of quality from the first row of knots to the final shearing.

6
Finishing, Washing, and Quality Inspection

Once hand-knotting is complete, the rug is cut from the loom, traditionally washed to set the dyes and bring out the natural lustre of the pile, stretched flat to dry, and final-sheared to an even pile height. Every completed rug undergoes a thorough quality inspection before shipment.

7
Delivery to Your Door

Your completed custom rug is carefully packaged and shipped directly from our Los Angeles warehouse to your address, with free shipping on all domestic U.S. orders. Your Certificate of Authenticity will follow by US Postal Service within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

Custom Weaving: Common Questions

How long does it take to weave a custom rug?

Production time varies significantly depending on the size, complexity of the design, and knot density. A smaller piece (3x5 feet) with a moderately complex design typically takes 4 to 6 months. A large room-size rug (9x12 feet) with a highly detailed design can take 12 to 24 months or more. We will give you an estimated timeline when you submit your design and specifications.

What file format should I provide for my design?

We accept any standard digital format including JPEG, PNG, PDF, AI, PSD, or TIFF. High-resolution images produce the best results. If you only have a physical photograph or printed artwork, we can arrange to have it digitized. If you have a concept but no finished artwork, contact us to discuss how our design team can assist you.

Can I see the rug during production before it is completed?

Yes. We send photographs and videos directly from the workshop at key stages of production throughout the weaving process. You can review the work in progress and confirm it is proceeding as intended before weaving continues.

What materials are used in custom rugs?

Our standard custom rugs use 100% hand-spun, vegetable-dyed wool for natural color depth and durability. Bright or non-traditional colors that cannot be achieved with natural dyes are available using high-quality synthetic dyes on request. Pure silk custom rugs are also available for clients who require the finest possible quality and knot density.

Does my custom rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?

Yes. Every completed custom rug from Los Angeles Home of Rugs comes with a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the rug's origin in Persia, its materials, dimensions, knot density, and the expert who authenticated the piece. The certificate will be mailed to your billing address via US Postal Service within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.
