Come to Journey East and meet Martin Wallis, our Oriental carpet expert.

His enthusiasm will impress you as much as his tales of the folklore behind much of the individual tribal and town designs which form such a unique part of Oriental carpet weaving. There is no one in the county more qualified to inform, and no one more committed to guiding your choice.

A large portion of Journey East stock is Persian, traditional village and tribal weaving. What makes Persian weaving so good? In one word – instinctive, or in other words, the weaving is not controlled. Designs are kept within families and handed down from one generation the others. These rugs really cause a stir when laid on a rich wooden floor for the first time. Such pieces of textiles are kept for life. They not only make a home, they positively transform it!

Every carpet is different. Each is an original work of art. Their beauty is enduring, designed to enhance every style of home and every type of flooring. They represent art you will live with for generations, adding warmth, character and exceptional charm to any room. Nowhere in Herefordshire will you discover a finer collection of them than at Journey East.
