Named for the Latin aurum — gold. Aurelia is a hand-knotted carpet in wool and silk, a luminous silver-grey ground scattered with a fine crosshatch of gold, amber, wheat, and champagne. The silk holds the light, so the gilded threads shift and glow as the day moves across the room — radiant one moment, quiet the next, like sunlight through woven blinds. This is a piece of art that happens to live on your floor.

A Note On Wool & Silk The silk in Aurelia is what makes the gold glow — silk reflects light where wool absorbs it, so the champagne and amber tones shift and deepen depending on where you stand and how the light falls. A hand-knotted wool-and-silk rug is the most enduring construction we make, tightening and growing more beautiful with age. Because silk is finer than wool, we recommend professional cleaning for anything beyond a gentle spot-clean. |

Care & Maintenance |
||||||||
A hand-knotted wool-and-silk rug is an heirloom piece — cared for well, it lasts generations and grows more beautiful with age. The silk content makes it more delicate than an all-wool rug, so treat spills gently and lean on professional cleaners for anything deeper. For any queries write to us at humminghaus@gmail.com |

Questions, Answered |
What size rug should I choose for my living room?For a 3-seater sofa, the 6 × 9 ft Aurelia is the natural fit — large enough for the front legs of the sofa to rest on it, which anchors the seating area. For an open or larger living room where you would like the whole sofa on the rug, move up to 8 × 10 ft. When you are between two sizes, going up always looks more considered. Why choose a hand-knotted wool and silk rug?Hand-knotting is the finest and most durable rug construction — each knot tied by hand, giving exceptional detail and longevity. The wool brings warmth and resilience, while the silk adds lustre and depth, catching the light so the gold and champagne tones shift as you move. A piece like this is built to last generations. Is Aurelia suitable for homes with kids and pets?Aurelia is made from natural wool and silk with no harmful chemicals, so it is safe to live with. That said, the silk content makes it more delicate than an all-wool rug, so it is happiest in living rooms, bedrooms, and formal spaces rather than the highest-traffic or messiest corners of the home. Can I order Aurelia in a custom size or palette?Yes. Every Aurelia is hand-knotted to order in Mirzapur, so the size can be adjusted to your room and the palette can be shifted to suit your space. Share your dimensions and we will craft it to fit. How long will it take to arrive?Because it is hand-knotted in wool and silk, Aurelia is crafted per order and ships in 10 to 12 weeks. Hand-knotting is slow, deliberate work — the wait is the craft. Shipping is free across India, and you will have updates from loom to door. How do I clean and care for it?Vacuum gently on low suction without a beater bar, and treat spills immediately by blotting with cold water — never soak, scrub, or bleach. Because of the silk, we recommend a professional rug cleaner for anything beyond a light spot-clean. Rotating it occasionally keeps the wear even. Why choose a handmade rug over a machine-made one?A handmade rug is made by a single artisan, knot by knot, giving it a depth of texture and a longevity machine-made rugs cannot match — many hand-knotted wool and silk rugs outlast the rooms they were first bought for. Slight variations in pattern and colour are not flaws; they are the record of a human hand. Still deciding?
