Deciding to bring together their respective expertise to create the most beautiful rugs possible has become an inspiring journey. Ptolemy’s elegant and colourful designs which express her unique ikat signature – alongside Rugmaker’s 30 years extensive knowledge of the manufacturing process worldwide meant they could create a truly stunning collection of original rugs.
