Original &
Unique
Each Christopher Farr rug is a unique handmade object, an unrepeatable
synthesis of contemporary design and traditional craft skills.
Made from exceptionally high quality wool, hand spun and hand dyed, every
rug or flatweave has subtle variations of tone and texture which give
it an extraordinary visual richness.
