Jean Moncrieff - Bespoke art for floors - exclusive rugs designed in scotland and hand knotted in nepal Contact: The Stables Balnacoil Aboyne Aberdeenshire Scotland, AB34 5JD Tel: ++44(0)13398 85398 Email: info@jeanmoncrieff.co.uk Website: www.jeanmoncrieff.co.uk Comments: Jean Moncrieff, a former designer of needlepoint, has turned her skills to creating bespoke rugs for private clients, interior designers and architects. From her base in Scotland, her designs are sent to Nepal where they are hand knotted using only the finest Tibetan wool, silks and dyes. The whole process, including the design stage, is hand done, as Jean prefers to draw, paint or stitch a small "maquette" of the design rather than use a computer. A visit to Nepal secured her weavers from the recommended GoodWeave list. After showing at trade fairs in London, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, she is currently working on rugs for a Royal Palace and a hotel in The Emirates.
