We are excited to launch a new exclusive design based on the elegant Callanish Tartan.
The team at Concept Hand Tufting were approached by Malcolm the Weaver to use their unique experience gained from 5 generations of heritage in the textile industry to bring his special tartan to life as a floor covering for luxury interiors.
Commissioned by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 16th March 2010, the Callanish Tartan was born when Malcolm the Weaver enchanted Her Majesty with tales of Scottish wool, Harris Tweed and Scotland’s rich textile and tartan heritage. Inspired by the ancient Callanish Stones, erected in 2,693BC, nearly 5,000 years ago, the Callanish Tartan reflects the timeless grandeur and haunting beauty of The Stones. Already a well loved kilt and jacket design, (and an exquisite dress worn by Joanna Lumley at a dinner hosted by King Charles III at Balmoral Castle to celebrate The Braemar Highland Games!), the tartan has recently gained popularity as iconic Scottish bridal wear and kilt and highland wear for the groom.
The Callanish Tartan design can be installed fully fitted wall to wall; or with a border added for a timeless area rug or sophisticated stair runner. Its tones are elegant and exquisite for the most modern residence, yet rugged and timeless for a stately home, luxury hotel or for an historic castle.
