historical reproduction carpets

About Carpets

Thistle Hill has been weaving authenic historic reproduction Venetian carpet and ingrain carpet for over 30 years. Our carpets are 100% wool and extremely long lasting. We weave them in custom colors and sizes, in historic, traditionally inspired, and contemporary patterns. Our carpets look beautiful installed wall to wall, as hall or stair runners, or as area rugs.  

We make all kinds of flat weave carpets, from fancy figured ingrain such as the example you see here, and early geometric ingrain and striped Venetian carpeting. Our patterns come from surviving historic examples (a piece of the original figured ingrain that we reproduced, pictured below,  survives in the Metropolitan Museum in NY), from period weavers drafts, and from traditionally inspired designs.

If you are interested in receiving more information about our custom carpets, please contact us. We would be glad to send you samples and guide you through the process of ordering a custom carpet.

We can also recommend installers who are familiar with our carpets and are sensitive to the requirements of historic homes.
