Description

Warm oyster-white holds the ground across most of the field, with a concentrated mass of burnt sienna and dark terracotta pushing up from the lower right. Slate-grey and near-black forms occupy the upper half in quieter, more dissolved shapes. Silk threads rise within the orange-brown mass, sharpening its edges against the receding matte wool ground.

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.

Bring the room into the rug - never the other way around.

A rug is sized to read once, in full, as you walk past it. The longer sizes tell a different story across a whole room.

Asked & answered

Questions you'd want to ask.

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

Fornax · the asked & answered
How does foot traffic affect the silk-dense areas of this rug over time?

Silk knots rise higher than wool in the hi-low construction and are more susceptible to compression under repeated foot traffic. The burnt sienna mass, where silk concentration is highest, benefits from being positioned away from primary walking paths. A quality rug pad reduces friction from below and extends the surface considerably.

How should this rug be sized for a large open-plan living room?

The 10x14 works best in generous open-plan spaces, allowing the full composition to read without furniture crowding the edges. For standard living rooms, the 9x12 anchors a seating group well, with front legs of sofas and chairs resting on the rug. The off-center design reads strongest when the sienna mass sits within the seating zone.

Is the wool pile prone to shedding, and how should it be managed?

Some shedding from the wool sections is expected in the first several months and tapers with regular care. Vacuum the wool-dominant oyster-white areas on low suction. Avoid vacuuming directly over silk zones; use a soft brush attachment instead. Never pull loose fibers; trim them flush with scissors.
