LEGACY. SINCE 1881 That's how long we've been hand crafting fine carpets. Founded by a man largely considered the pioneer of the Indian carpet export business, A.Tellery, a Britisher, the legacy changed hands when the Raj ended. Now, with the third generation of Patodias at the helm, the business of carpet and rug making, and the craft of doing it almost completely by hand, has grown into an ecosystem that provides livelihood to hundreds of craftsmen, in and around Bhadohi. And chances are, wherever in the world you are, you've probably seen and felt the exclusivity of a Hands carpet in the finest hotels, palaces, boutiques, offices and residences.
