Description

A saturated brick-red ground carries the large-scale open vine scroll, its sweeping arms and large spiral rosettes drawn in warm ivory, sage green, teal blue, and dusty coral. Teal-blue crescent arms trace bold curved paths across the center field, replacing the brick-red or brown crescents found in other versions. A wide near-black navy border closes the field with dense scrolling vine and ivory and sage-green florals, framed by a narrow sage guard stripe.

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.

Cinnabar · the asked & answered
The teal-blue crescent arms are the most prominent element. Do they fade differently from the red ground over time?

Teal and red dyes in hand-knotted wool are both stable when not exposed to prolonged direct sun. Since the crescent forms and the ground occupy separate areas of the pile, any fading from sun exposure would affect the whole surface rather than isolating specific motifs. Rotating the rug annually prevents directional fading from developing unevenly.

How does the near-black navy border relate to the brick-red field in a room with neutral furniture?

The navy border grounds the red field's warmth with a dark cool perimeter, creating a composition that reads as contained and resolved rather than expansive. Against neutral upholstery in cream or linen, the rug carries the room's color entirely, with the navy border providing the structural anchor and the red field providing the warmth. The sage guard stripe prevents the two tones from clashing at their boundary.

Is this rug suited to a Japanese-influenced interior, as shown in the lifestyle image?

The brick-red and navy palette sits naturally alongside warm wood, pale plaster, and natural fibre accessories. In the lifestyle image, the rug reads as an element with its own cultural grammar that coexists with the room's restraint rather than conflicting with it. Rooms with minimal decoration around the rug allow its vine scroll and color to carry without competition.
