Roll Out the Festive Season with These Carpets ft. OBEETEE

India’s carpet story goes back centuries. The craft is widely traced to the Mughal era, when Persian weaving traditions found their way into India and evolved through local hands, eventually making regions like Bhadohi and Mirzapur synonymous with fine carpet-making.

It was in Mirzapur, at the heart of this carpet belt, that OBEETEE came to life in 1920. Founded by F.H. Oakley, F.H. Bowden and J.A.L. Taylor, the brand began by bringing together the region’s finest craftsmen and has since grown into a century-old name in Indian handmade carpets. Today, its legacy continues through generations of weavers, while its designs bring this heritage into contemporary homes.

We’ve rounded up some picks that are made to bring a little extra grandeur to your festive spaces.

The design on the canvas is an abstract mirror that was once found on royal-silk velvets.
