For over two and a half thousand years, the nomadic
peoples of the remote and beautiful Tien Shan mountains
in Central Asia have made sumptuous felt rugs (shyrdaks)
to line their tents.
Felt is the first company to source
shyrdaks direct from nomadic makers
across Kyrgyzstan and import them for
sale in the UK. The current collection
includes a broad range of patterns and
colour combinations from dazzling and
bright, to elegant and subtle.
Shyrdaks look magnificent in both
contemporary and traditional interiors,
whether used on the floor or as wall
hangings - even framed. Pairs of rugs can
also be very effective for adjoining rooms.
Each shyrdak is accompanied by an explanation
of the symbols used and the story they tell.
A selection of Felt’s current
collection of hand made
woollen shyrdaks can be viewed
at the London showroom
by appointment or on our
website. Additional designs
are continually being sourced
and may be imported to order.
Shyrdaks of different sizes,
colours, patterns and meanings
can also be commissioned.
