Chinese Lantern Spruce Rug

Most rugs 6x9 and smaller are in stock at our importer and ship via UPS in 7-10 days. Each rug 8x10 and larger is made to order, and hand knotting takes time. Currently, rugs are taking between 6-9 months depending on whether the finishing and drying process is extended by monsoon season. We will provide our best estimate at the time of order, keeping you informed if there any changes with your rug's delivery time frame. Feel free to reach out with questions on current lead times or specifics on any item.

Our rugs from Nepal use hand-carded, hand-spun and hand-dyed Himalayan wool giving them a wonderfully soft feel and exceptional durability. The high altitude at which the Himalayan sheep graze make for an unusually high level of lanolin, making the carpets soft and stain-resistant.
The weaver uses the sennah or Tibetan knot, which utilizes a long steel rod, around which wool is knotted in long horizontal rows. When a row is complete, the row of knots is cut loose from the steel rod using a razor-type tool. A long-fingered comb is then used to align the row of knots tightly to the previous row. Then the steel rod is reinserted and the weaving continues. It takes approximately one week to complete one linear foot of weaving.

Hand-knotted rugs are made to last generations. With proper care and cleaning, your grandchildren will be enjoying your rug and passing it on. See our care and cleaning tips at https://modernbungalow.com/blogs/care-and-cleaning/how-to-clean-and-maintain-a-wool-rug-or-carpet

Each rug 8x10 and larger is made to order, and hand knotting takes time.

Covid-19 has affected our ability to get rugs out of Nepal and we are unable to guarantee any time frame.

Made-to-order items:

Time frames vary widely by item, depending on degree of customization and item type. Please refer to individual product pages for specific lead time information on a particular item.

Deliveries outside of our local radius are handled by our network of trucking partners and include doorstep delivery for a flat rate of $99 regardless of order size. Since these routes are typically served by a single driver, we cannot include inside setup. You will have to arrange to bring your furniture to your room of choice and set up as needed. We are happy to help guide you through the setup and are working on videos to make it simple! (only dining tables, cribs, beds and some desks require setup).

When your furniture ships, we will call you to collect any remaining payments due and hand off your order information to our trucking partner, who will contact you to arrange a delivery time and let you know what to expect. So please be sure that the contact information on your order will be correct at the time you expect your furniture to be ready, or give us a call to update it if needed.
