New Delhi, November 2019: There is a universal sense of joy and celebration as the year comes to the end.  There is hope in the air, fresh ideas, and the thrill of charting the next 365 days. Everything begins again, everything changes again.

To quote the poet Tennyson: “The old order changeth, yielding place to new”.
The most beautiful expression of this feeling is a new carpet from Hands:
Hand knotted or hand tufted in contemporary, transitional, and traditional designs.

Featured here are two from the Lithology Collection and one from the Mineralogy Collection. The three together present just a glimpse into a range of fifteen stunning masterpieces; each customisable to any size.

As Mr. Deepankar Choudhary, Director at Hands, likes to remind himself
“a carpet must do nothing less than enhance the environment it adorns and take the space to extraordinary expressions of elegance”.
