Caraffa Hand-Knotted Rug 2×3 m
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELZORVAN Hearth — the rooms' quiet jewellery
The Caraffa is knotted, not printed: wool and silk from named spinners at densities the certificate repeats, an underside we photograph because that is where rugs tell the truth, and a bench that bathes them the old way.
Monograms are sewn in our own embroidery room — thread matched to the household's letters, placed by the old rules of the trousseau. Linen is sold by weight as well as by name: grams per square metre printed on the card, because softness is a fact before it is a feeling.

Care
Linen washes at 60 for whites, 40 for colours, and prefers line-drying and a hot iron while damp — it grows softer every wash for thirty years. Cashmere washes cold by hand, dries flat, and rests folded, never hung.
Monogrammed pieces iron from the reverse over a towel, so the letters stand proud for the next generation.
Questions, Answered
Do the clocks need servicing?
A gentle weekly wind and a level shelf, then cleaning at seven years — the bench card in the case states the calendar. Movements are serviced in our own workshop, not sent away.
Are the rugs really hand-knotted?
Knot by knot, at densities stated per listing and repeated on the certificate — machine-made never enters the house. The underside tells the truth; we photograph it for every rug.
The ELZORVAN Promise
The house keeps open stock: service pieces, lids, knobs and trimmings stay orderable for fifteen years, and our bench re-tins copper, re-silvers flatware and re-oils oak on the honest schedule.
