Description

A deep navy field carries an all-over repeat of large scrolling teal wave forms enclosing ivory and warm gold artichoke-like flower heads, each bearing a dark brown fan-shaped calyx above clustered ivory petals. Dusty terracotta vines run between the wave forms against the near-black ground. The wide ivory border holds a scrolling botanical repeat in warm gold and sage. Medium pile reads dense and close in the detailed close-up.

A note on the dye

Madder root, soaked five days, simmered three.

The red you see in the field is not one red. It is seven dye lots, each pulled at a slightly different hour from the same copper vat,the variation lives only in the wool, never in the recipe.

Questions you'd want to ask.

Plain answers about the wool, the loom, and what the rug does over years of use.

Nacre · the asked & answered

How does the deep navy and teal combination hold its tonal distinction over years of use?

Both navy and teal are deep-dyed wool colors that hold their distinction at full pile depth. Gradual surface wear does not bring them closer in tone because the color difference is structural rather than surface-applied. Annual professional cleaning maintains the contrast between the two registers across the full field.

Does the wide ivory border affect how the rug is sized or positioned relative to furniture?

The wide ivory border functions as a visual frame, so it works best when the full border is visible around the furniture perimeter. On a 9x12, allow at least 18 inches of border visible beyond the sofa's front legs. The 10x14 gives more clearance on all sides and lets the border read as a complete frame from any position in the room.

Is this rug suitable for a room with children or pets, given the dark field and the complexity of the design?

Deep-ground wool rugs are practical in active households because the dark field does not show everyday dust or light soiling as readily as pale grounds. The hand-knotted structure is durable under regular foot traffic. Blot any spills immediately and vacuum on low suction regularly; the design complexity means minor surface variation is far less visible than on a plain or lightly patterned surface.
