About the Item
Knots Rugs Mexican Skulls Rug – A Hand-Knotted Silk
Wool Masterpiece, 17th Century Modern Collection
The Mexican Skulls Rug by Knots Rugs is a one-of-a-kind fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary artistry, inspired by 19th-century Heriz carpets and the Mexican Sugar Skull tradition. This hand-knotted silk and wool masterpiece reimagines the intricate motifs of Persian Heriz rugs, known for their arabesques and animal figures, with a modernized overlay of delicate Mexican skull patterns—a nod to the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) tradition.
Heriz carpets are revered for their ability to tell stories through woven memory, making them some of the most cherished and enduring textiles in the world. Knots Rugs has taken this rich storytelling tradition and blended it with the floral swirls and ornamental designs found in Mexican skull artistry, creating a truly avant-garde interpretation of historical craftsmanship.
This rug features a unique oxidization technique, where the wool beneath the silk is selectively aged, enhancing texture and depth while creating an extraordinary 3D relief effect. The interplay of warm earth tones, deep reds, soft neutrals, and intricate floral accents adds a sense of antiquity with a modern sensibility, making it a museum-worthy statement piece.
A testament to cross-cultural artistry, the Mexican Skulls Rug bridges the elegance of Heriz Persian weaving with the vivid symbolism of Mexican folk art, making it a collector’s dream and an extraordinary conversation piece for luxury interiors, contemporary spaces, and artistic collections.

By Knots Rugs
Located in London, GB
The Mughal No. 01 by Knots Rugs is a rare and exquisite reinterpretation of 17th-century Mughal artistry, blending Persian and Indian influences into a museum-quality statement piece. Hand-knotted in Jaipur, India, using the finest oxidized silk and wool, this limited-edition rug captures the grandeur of Mughal court textiles, where art and craftsmanship flourished under royal patronage.
