About Rachel Rugs

A 30-year unbeaten knowledge from "Rachel Rugs" the person behind The Rug Studio is shown here and available in the antique centres. Found on various days at the centres (see below) or by appointment either in one of the 3 antique centres, the office / studio or at your home, Rachel will look to gain an insight into styles and tastes you respond to and absorb the finer subtleties of you, the client. 

​

Rachel's goal is always to achieve the ideal environment and desired atmosphere while considering traffic level, colour, size and budget during which she will discuss the quality of materials used, the size, weave and dyes for the space required. The result is to ensure you are achieving the best rug possible for the space.

​

With a 35-year honed eye for the visual arts, (5 years at art school prior to entering the trade) she matches colours and brings a selection for you to see and try at home, or looks to start the bespoke process with her team in India to produce a unique rug in wool, pet (recycled bottles) jute, silk or cotton.

​

Rachel through The Rug Studio has supplied carpets and restoration services not just for the general domestic market but also for historic houses, embassies, private academic institutions, financial institutions and popular film directors as well as working with some of the top interior designers from around the country.

​

The traditional Sales of rugs are captured as a concept through the internet but executed through the antique centres, these are open 7 days a week which maximum, accessibility in the modern world seems imperative.  

​

Rachel constantly watches the market, attends fairs, embraces her clients' briefs/demands, and follows the rise of social media and the internet.  These factors have led Rachel to note the current trend is no longer dominated by provenance, history and quality, essentially the story behind the rug, but by design and colour, ‘today's look/fashion’.  The story though, is for Rachel the passion, the understanding of a culture decades or centuries ago and the layer Rachel adores most. 

​

Therefore, considering the demand for the traditional Persian antique tribal or decorative rug is less, while appointments carried out on location grown often seeking a truly bespoke personal item, the internet and centres balance feel the correct way forward for the studio. 

​

Taking into consideration 30 years of travelling and working with these beautiful evolving pieces of art which are heavy and require manpower (something also available at most of the centres).  For Rachel, the days of sitting on the floor in remote workshops in India or Turkey and travelling the globe to learn weaving and dying techniques as tastes have evolved and developed are all part of her absorbing and understanding the cultures behind the rugs.

​

​Today Rachel is found in the centres with regular days in each for enquiries regarding Sales, Cleaning, Restoration and Design/Bespoke Production of Oriental, Traditional and Contemporary Rugs.  It’s this skill set that makes Rachel Rugs @ The Rug Studio unique and it's here she looks to share a little knowledge and experience with you and her comprehensive understanding of construction and history behind this unique art form. 

​

Visit our locations below which list the selection of rugs to be found at each venue and when Rachel will be found in person at each demonstrating her love and passion for the restoration of rugs.
