My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hello Loveskera,


    This is a genuine hand knotted oriental rug, not a machine made or hand tufted.


    It is made out of wool which is 80% and art silk which is 20%, using natural dyes, very soft to the touch.


    Beautiful choice.


    Sincerely,


    Riccardo Scarpis

    Oriental Rug Specialist.
