About

Clive Rogers Oriental Rugs (CROR), established in 1971, is a UK-based specialist in antique oriental carpets, textiles, and bespoke hand-knotted rugs. Operating from their studio in Stroud, Gloucestershire, CROR offers a curated selection of fine carpets, tapestries, flatweaves, and culturally rich ethnographic fabrics sourced from regions including Turkey, India, Central Asia, and China. Their mission is to preserve and promote the artistry of traditional weaving while providing clients with exceptional pieces that enhance interior spaces.

In addition to dealing in antiques, CROR provides bespoke design services for new hand-knotted carpets and runners. Collaborating with skilled weavers, primarily in Turkey, they utilize sustainable materials, natural dyes, and hand-spun wool to create custom pieces tailored to individual client specifications. This bespoke service encompasses the entire process, from initial site assessment and design customization to production and installation, ensuring each piece aligns with the client's vision and functional requirements.

CROR also offers comprehensive care, cleaning, and restoration services for rugs and textiles. Routine cleaning and repairs are conducted through their London workshop, employing gentle cleaning agents and traditional hand-repair methods to preserve the integrity of each piece. For more extensive restoration projects, they collaborate with ateliers in Turkey, ensuring that even severely damaged items are meticulously restored to their former glory. Additionally, CROR provides curation and consultancy services, offering forensic analysis, research, dating, structural analysis, cataloguing, and valuation for private, corporate, and national collections.

With a reputation for expertise and quality, CROR has collaborated with renowned interior designers and architects, supplying materials and providing consultancy for various projects. Their commitment to ethical working practices and support for traditional craftsmanship is evident in their partnerships with organizations like Turquoise Mountain, a charitable foundation dedicated to reviving traditional crafts and skills. By maintaining strong relationships with weavers and artisans, CROR ensures the continuation of cultural heritage and the production of high-quality, handcrafted rugs and textiles.

CROR's dedication to the preservation and promotion of oriental rugs and textiles is further demonstrated through their participation in events and fairs, such as The Textile Society’s Antique and Vintage Textile fairs. By engaging with the broader textile and design community, they contribute to the appreciation and understanding of the rich histories and cultural significance embodied in their collections. Through their diverse services and unwavering commitment to quality, Clive Rogers Oriental Rugs continues to be a leading authority in the field of antique and bespoke oriental carpets and textiles in the UK.
