Description

Deep oxide-red fills the field, carrying a continuous all-over scroll of palmettes, open florals, and curling leaves in dusty steel-blue, sage green, soft sand, and terracotta-peach. The border grounds the composition in near-black navy dense with paisley and floral forms. Pile reads medium, full and consistent across the surface.

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.

Asked & answered

Questions you'd want to ask.

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

Kermes · the asked & answered

Does a deep red wool field fade over time with regular use and exposure?

Natural wool dyes used in hand-knotted rugs are stable under normal indoor conditions. Direct, prolonged sun exposure can shift color over time in any rug; keeping the piece out of sustained direct sunlight and rotating it annually maintains the field evenly. Professional cleaning preserves dye integrity better than home treatments.

Which interior styles work best with this red and navy combination?

The oxide-red field and near-black navy border read well against neutral plaster, raw linen, and warm oak. The rug also holds its own in more eclectic rooms where color is already present, as its deep ground acts as an anchor rather than competing with surrounding surfaces. Avoid pairing with other strong pattern at floor level.

How does the medium pile height affect the rug's feel and acoustic qualities in a living room?

A medium pile absorbs foot impact and reduces echo in a room without furniture padding. It provides enough cushioning underfoot for daily comfort in a living or drawing room while remaining low enough to allow furniture legs to sit evenly on the surface. Chair and sofa legs do not rock on a medium pile as they sometimes do on deeper constructions.
