Description

An ivory field frames a large stepped Heriz-style medallion built from near-black, steel blue, terracotta, and dusty peach, with a sage green center rosette enclosed by an ivory inner ring. Near-black corner spandrels carry botanical forms in terracotta and pale blue. The ivory border holds a running rosette and scroll repeat in muted rust and sage. The close-up reveals medium pile with firm, precise angular edges throughout.

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.

Casque · the asked & answered
How does the matching ivory field and border hold up to wear without showing uneven fading between zones?

When field and border share the same ground tone, wear develops consistently across both areas rather than creating visible tonal contrast between them over time. Annual rotation and professional cleaning maintain the uniformity of the pale ground across the full surface.

What is the best furniture placement for a large medallion rug in a room with a fireplace as a focal point?

Place the rug so the medallion center sits between the seating group and the fireplace, with the sofa's front legs on the rug. This aligns the rug's focal point with the room's architectural one. The 10x14 works best in larger rooms with a full seating group; the 9x12 suits a more focused arrangement.

Does a wool rug with near-black spandrels require different vacuuming care than lighter areas of the same rug?

The same low-suction vacuuming applies across the full surface. Avoid concentrating suction on the dark-ground areas, as repeated high-suction passes on any section can stress the pile unevenly. Moving the vacuum in the pile direction across the entire rug in one pass keeps wear consistent across both the dark and pale zones.
