Description

Dark olive-brown and cool slate-grey carry the ground, with threads of deep crimson, dusty rose, and pale ivory distributed through the surface at no fixed interval. A fine diamond lattice runs beneath the colour, visible only at close range. The matte wool pile keeps the multi-toned surface reading as a single composed field from any distance.

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.

Kelim · the asked & answered
How does the multi-toned yarn in this construction hold its colour over time?

The colour variation comes from the yarn itself, dyed before knotting. Wool holds dye at the fibre level, so the mix of olive-brown, grey, crimson, and rose remains stable under regular use. Rotating the rug annually ensures the surface wears evenly across all zones.

What floor types and room settings suit this rug?

The dark, complex palette works well against pale stone, terrazzo, and marble floors, where the rug provides contrast without competing with the floor material. The 9x12 or 10x14 suits a full seating arrangement in a living or drawing room. The darker ground also performs well in rooms with substantial furniture.

Does a low-pile wool rug at this density require any specific vacuuming approach?

Low pile at high knot density benefits from slow, single-direction passes on low suction. Avoid back-and-forth strokes, which can pull at the knot structure over time. A suction-only head without a beater bar is the right tool. Professional cleaning once a year keeps the pile fibre clear and the surface looking its best.
