Carpets, rugs and runners featuring 50 clan tartans – from Stevens & Graham circa 1947

tartan plaid carpets for 50 clansCall this my “Forever Plaid” series. I thought my miniseries on plaid carpeting was complete, but then I received this wonderful tip from “dcgrl”, who wrote:

Along these lines, there is also a Tartan carpet manufacturer in Scotland – Stevens & Graham. You can get a rug or carpet made in your clan’s tartan, if you have a clan. Or you can just pretend. Not sure about importing, though. I’ve been dreaming about this in my k.p. den forever.

Thank you, dcgirl. You know this is the kind of company I love to feature: Started up business in 1947 and still running. Their website says: “and runners made to any shape or size required, delivering all over the world.” Yes: A plaid stair runner! 80% wool/20% nylon – kind of the best of both worlds. Featured above: The Mackenzie Tartan. Link: Stevens & Graham.

    I am about to purchase the Mackenzie Tartan rug (wall to wall) for my Spare room in the basement… I have always dreamed of this day… My goal is a Glasgow Classic Hotel!

      Hi Diane,

      Did you install your Mackenzie wall to wall yet?
      Im looking for two large Mackenzie area rugs for a commercial project I am working on… Just wondering who you used and if your happy with the final result.
      thanks
      Marco

    I know Masland now has a Houndstooth pattern. This falls inline with these “woven textile” patterned carpeting.

    Might check under Masland Contract, as well, if you can’t find it under their residential line.

    Hi Pam, this was a facinating post and as a kilt wearer I’d love to have my tartan made into a rug for my den.

    Thanks,John
