Creative Accents

Each rug is made once, by hand, for the room it was drawn for.

For three generations the Hensler family has worked with its craftsmen and the country’s leading designers to make heirloom rugs to order, in any design, shape, size or color, in our atelier in Tehachapi, California.

Tufted by hand.

Every design is drawn full-size onto the backing, then hand-tufted by artisans who have spent decades at the frame, from American raw materials.

Our Story
