The Process

Elson & Company hand-knotted Himalayan wool rugs are known for their exceptional quality and durability. Intricate details related to the materials, craftsmanship, and environmental conditions of the wool's origin contribute to each rug's unique richness and timeless work. These are what sets us apart as a rug company.

Elson & Company rugs are considered the most durable rugs in the world. In addition to the unique beauty and depth of our work, we use the finest quality of wool, high-altitude Himalayan wool, with no low-land wool blends. We use only pure high-altitude wool with a strong cotton foundation.

Traditional weaving techniques honed over centuries result in rugs that are not only beautiful but also built to last.
