Traditional Orientals seem a little old-fashioned? Yearning for a fresh, new look for the house? These carpet creations at Jehan Gallery are sure to breathe new life into any room.

Bamboo Silk Carpets: 

Made in Nepal, these distinctive, hand-knotted carpets get their name from their silky-soft feel and lustre. While real silk tends to get sticky in the humid Singapore heat, bamboo silk breathes better and is hypoallergenic. Bamboo completely regenerates itself within three to five years and grows naturally without the need for agricultural tending, so these carpets are environmentally friendly and free from pesticides and other chemicals. And thanks to a unique agent in bamboo called “bamboo kun”, these carpets are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and odour-resistant. Choose from a rainbow of colours, sizes and designs that can be customised by you or Jehan’s design team. 

Who’s buying? Bamboo silks are popular with pet owners and eco-warriors as well as people wanting customised carpets, hypoallergenic soft furnishings or something other than wool, silk or cotton.

Kilim collage – flat-weave tribal carpet without piling

Collage Carpets:

Inspired by patch-worked rice-sack carpets, Jehan’s collage carpets are something entirely new in the world of hand-knotted carpets. Using fragments from old and new carpets (some of the pieces are older than 100 years), the distinctive fabrics, designs and weaving techniques from the various areas of Iran are combined to create a one-of-a-kind piece.           

Who’s buying? Designers and people looking for a modern twist on a traditional carpet, and those desiring a piece that reflects the character and history of a Persian but costs no more than a modern, shaggy rug.
