Roger Oates and Fay Morgan Oates first began designing and hand producing flatweave rugs and runners more than 25 years ago. The reinvention of the Venetian flatweave process led to a series of creative experiments with colour, pattern and texture that now number more than 100 individual designs currently in production. Choose from bold striped borders in a herringbone texture to detailed stripes-within-stripes or wide bands of colour.

Distinctive rugs and runners are made from a British Cheviot wool blend that’s spun and dyed in Yorkshire. The weaving takes place in the UK on specially adapted narrow-width looms to create rugs and runners with clean woven edges. All finishing is then done by hand in Herefordshire.
The company’s Tapis d’Avignon rugs are made to order from heavily felted Mouflon wool that feels as soft and indulgent as it looks. Their individual geometric shapes are joined with a decorative stitch that can tone or contrast with the main colours.
