Description

A near-black ground carries a large stepped medallion built from amber gold and teal blue in concentric angular layers, with brick-red corner fills and an ivory upper spandrel arch framing the medallion's crown. The dark field surrounding the medallion holds scattered directional foliage and florets in teal, dusty coral, and sage green. The border shares the near-black ground, carrying large floral roundels and scrolling vine in the same palette.

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.

On scale

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.

Inkwell · the asked & answered
How does a near-black ground with a same-tone border perform in terms of showing lint and surface debris?

Dark wool grounds pick up light-colored fibers and dust more visibly than mid-toned rugs. Regular vacuuming on low suction without a beater bar manages this effectively. A lint roller works well between vacuum sessions. The same-tone border means debris visibility is consistent across both zones, so no single area requires more maintenance than another.

The lifestyle image shows this in a pale, minimalist room. Does that contrast work, or does it overwhelm the space?

The near-black surface creates a strong grounding element in a pale room, anchoring the seating arrangement without competing with the architecture. The amber gold and teal blue medallion provide enough internal color to prevent the rug from reading as simply dark. In the lifestyle image, it reads as a deliberate contrast rather than a visual weight problem.

How do the amber gold and teal blue hold their color in a near-black ground over time?

Teal and amber gold dyes in hand-knotted wool are among the most stable, particularly when not exposed to prolonged direct sun. On a dark ground, these colors are unlikely to fade at a different rate than the surrounding field, so the contrast between medallion and ground remains consistent with proper care and annual rotation.
