The Malik Family
Three generations · since 1970
Three generations. One thread.
Since 1970, the Malik family has lived by the rug trade: three generations, from a small town outside Lahore to a gallery in Houston. They weave their own lines in Lahore-led workshops with Afghan weavers, and choose genuine vintage and antique pieces alongside.
For over fifty years these rugs reached galleries and palaces as a wholesale house. Now, for the first time, the family brings that collection directly to you.
A hand-knotted rug is never just a picture of a rug. It's tied knot by knot, each one its own. The Malik family, third generationRead the story

Natural palettes, soft color tones, and gently distressed finishes: hand-knotted rugs that make a room feel calm, cozy, and serene.

Not a category. A fact. When one of these finds a home, it is gone for good. The ones still here are still waiting.
The Reserve Selection
A dozen pieces the family set aside: older wools, deeper natural dyes, the rare finds they were in no hurry to part with, until now.

What is a hand-knotted rug, and why does it matter?
A hand-knotted rug is woven entirely by hand, knot by knot on a loom: the same centuries-old technique behind the world's great Persian and Oriental rugs. Tying the tens of thousands of knots in a single piece can take master weavers months. The result lasts for generations, ages beautifully and, because no two are ever tied the same, is genuinely one of a kind. It is the opposite of a printed or machine-made rug. Every rug in our hand-knotted collection is the real thing, and each product page states its exact construction, origin and age.
What makes Arteverk different from other rug stores?
We are a three-generation rug family, in the trade since 1970. For fifty years we supplied galleries, retailers and palaces around the world as a wholesale house. Now we bring that same collection directly to you, maker-direct from our Houston showroom, with no middleman markup. We weave our own lines in our Lahore-led workshops with Afghan weavers; vintage and imported pieces are chosen by the family. We tell you honestly where each rug was made. That means gallery-quality rugs, most of them one of a kind, at fair prices, and a real family you can talk to, in person or over video.
Do you ship hand-knotted rugs outside Houston?
Yes. We ship free across the United States, and returns are free: 30 days from delivery, plus 7 to ship it back. If you are in or near Houston, you are welcome to visit our showroom and walk on any rug in person. If you are anywhere else, we will send detailed photos and video, or meet you on a live video call to show you the piece in your own light before you decide. Either way, you are buying directly from the family that sourced and made it.
