Sax Carpet: a designer's guide to the woven wool line, the custom program and where it belongs
Sax Carpet is a to-the-trade source for woven wool broadloom, flatweave and custom rugs, with Wilton, soumak, jute and indoor-outdoor programs. It is for the designer who wants a woven wool pattern on a stair, a hand-woven flatweave up to 17 ft wide, or a custom Wilton or hand-tufted rug made to the room in any size and color. Interiors carries 164 Sax Carpet styles, 105 broadloom, 56 custom rugs and 3 area rugs, on the Sax Carpet brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
The mill
Sax Carpet sells to the trade, and its line is organized by program rather than by a single construction: a made-to-order side of 108 styles and a custom side of 56. One note on how the line reads on our site. Sax names many styles by colorway; where the mill lists one photograph per color we have grouped them into the style, and the showroom confirms the exact quality when it quotes. Ask us for the full color range with the samples.
What we carry
Of the 164 styles, 101 are wool, 16 sisal, jute and seagrass, 11 nylon, 8 polyester, 6 wool blend and 1 viscose. Constructions are Wilton (62), machine woven (50), flatweave (20), tufted (13), hand-loomed (12) and hand-tufted (7). Wilton and machine woven constructions lock pattern into the backing, which is why a Sax Wilton holds its floral or its grid on a stair. Flatweave has no pile and wraps a nosing cleanly. Wool is resilient and cleans well; the jute group is the natural-fiber texture; the nylon styles carry the printed patterns; and the polyester styles are the recycled PET indoor-outdoor program.
Roll widths are 13 ft 2 in on 59 styles, up to 17 ft for the flatweave and soumak on 17, 12 ft on 10 and 15 ft on 8, with 27 in flatweave runners. By pattern, 45 styles are geometrics, 43 textures, 26 stripes, 19 floral and botanical and 9 traditional. Custom rug is available on 105 styles, custom sizes on 59 and custom colors on 45; 8 styles are rated indoor and outdoor, and a minimum order applies on 5.
Collections to know
The Custom Collection, 45 styles, is the special-order program: Wilton florals, multi-frame Wiltons, knotted designs and hand-tufted patterns made in any size and color. Woolcord (18) is the woven wool cord line in stripes, herringbone, squares and tweeds. Alicante Wiltons (17) are the loop and cut-pile Wilton patterns. Flatweave and Soumak (17) are the hand-woven wool flatweaves up to 17 ft wide. Printed (13) is the printed nylon pattern line, Textures (12) the wool and nylon textures, Indoor Outdoor (8) the recycled PET program, Palm and Natural (8) the woven jute, VM Broadloom (7) the wool and paper-weft weaves, Brownstone (7) the hand-tufted pattern line, Amazon Woven (6) and Flatweave Broadloom (3).
Where it belongs
On a stair, start with Woolcord and the Alicante Wiltons: a woven cord or a Wilton grid holds its line over the nosing, and the 27 in flatweave runners are cut for the job. In a hall or an entry, the cords, tweeds and small geometrics hide tracking. A living room or a bedroom that wants a seamless wool field takes a Flatweave and Soumak style, which at up to 17 ft wide covers most rooms without a seam, or a Textures style for a quieter pile. A dining room or a library is where a Wilton floral from the Custom Collection, made to the room's size and colors, does its work. Palm and Natural suits a den or a bedroom with light traffic. The Indoor Outdoor program's 8 styles are for the covered porch and the mudroom.
Custom rugs and runners
Every Sax broadloom can be cut and bound through our Design Studio, and the catalog marks 105 styles custom rug available. The Custom Collection and Brownstone lines are made as rugs from the start, with the design and colors adjusted to the room; custom sizes are available on 59 styles and custom colors on 45. For a custom rug, we send a rendering and net quote in about two weeks, a strike-off in 4 to 6 weeks, and production runs 18 to 20 weeks, with the ship date provided when the design process is complete. For a stair runner, send us the tread count and tread width and we will draw it and quote it net.

Questions designers ask
Is Sax Carpet good quality?
Yes, for woven wool. 107 of the 164 styles are wool or wool blend, and 112 are Wilton or machine woven, the constructions that hold pattern under traffic. Sample first and ask for the full colorway range, since many styles stand for a family of colors.
How much does Sax Carpet cost?
Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish prices. Within the line, cost is driven by fiber, polyester and jute below wool, by construction, hand-woven and custom Wilton above machine woven and tufted, and by width. Ask us for the net on two or three candidate styles and we will send it with the samples.
Where is Sax Carpet made?
Our catalog does not record a country of origin for the Sax Carpet styles, and with six constructions in the line the mill of origin varies. Ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering and we will confirm where it is made before you specify it.
Where can I buy Sax Carpet?
Through trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 164 Sax Carpet styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can Sax Carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Yes. Every broadloom can be cut and bound through our Design Studio, and the Custom Collection and Brownstone lines are made as rugs from the start, in any size and color. For a stair, Woolcord, the Alicante Wiltons and the 27 in flatweave runners are the usual choices.
Is Sax Carpet the same as saxony carpet?
No. Saxony is a construction, a cut pile with a smooth, even face, that many mills make. Sax Carpet is a mill, a to-the-trade source for woven wool broadloom, flatweave and custom rugs. If you want a saxony cut pile, tell us the room and we will point you to the right mill.
