And now, it’s graced with a beautiful Wilton Carpet. Drawing on the classical styling of the building and interior theme, the bespoke carpet design is based on a Persian rug style, pulling in the rich, jewel tones from our Dimensions palette and creating an opulent,… Read More

We’re on Antiques Road Trip
Presenter Charlie Ross and his team came to the factory late last year to learn about the story behind the world-famous Wilton weave and the subsequent hundreds of years of history which have shaped this manufacturing business in South Wiltshire. There was a carpet factory built on our site in Wilton in 1655.
