Obeetee Carpets in Historical Context: A Look at Iconic Installations

In a world driven by innovation and evolution, certain treasures stand against the test of time and bear witness to a roadway of centuries. People think that these treasures are mere expensive metals, but little do they know about the art and craft embedded in the rich heritage of the world. As a testament to fine artistry and craftsmanship, among many either things, carpets stand as a symbol of the cultural richness of civilizations around the world.  As we embark on this intriguing journey through some of our historical installations of carpets, we invite you to join us on an exploration of the newsworthy threads that we have woven into our past and continue to do so in our present.

We, Obeetee Carpets have been in the rug-making industry for a century now.  Since 1920, we have been crafting carpets that are not mere floor coverings but the storytellers of our heritage. Each of our carpets is adorned with intricate patterns, and vibrant colors, and reflects a meticulous stitch that is a mirror to the creative artisans.  From the ornate Persian rugs that grace the halls of the parliament of India to the woven treasures adorning the hotels and resorts in India and outside its borders, our, carpets encapsulate the essence of diverse cultures, traditions, and aspirations.

In the year 1992, the president of India commissioned 2 rugs from Obeetee. Adorning the Grey Dining room hall of the majestic presidential palace, the rug measures 65 feet x 60 feet. This Persian rug was indeed labored with love. Meticulously hand-knotted over 9 months, a team of 33 weavers worked in 3 alternate shifts to finish the rug and deliver it to President Venkatraman as he wished to use it before his retirement. Red in color, the rug featured a detailed motif along with a versatile color palette in its design. Delighted by the rugs, as a token of appreciation, he invited our team of weavers to tea.

With experience over the past 3 decades, we have only become better in terms of taking up contractual jobs. Our reliable and affordable construction possibilities are accompanied by endless designs. From residential to commercial, hotels to lobbies, staircases to airplanes, we’ve installed carpets in all living and working environments.
