Description

A deep walnut-brown field carries an all-over botanical lattice in antique parchment and muted ochre-gold, broken mid-surface by cool ash-grey abrash that pools unevenly across the pile. The motifs draw from Arts and Crafts vocabulary: palmettes, vase forms, leaf sprays. None of them sit sharp. The silk catches at angles. The wool absorbs the rest.

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.

Loam · the asked & answered
How does a wool and silk construction hold up under daily use in a high-traffic room?

Wool carries the structural load of the pile, resisting compression and wear over years of use. Silk threads run through selectively, adding surface detail without bearing traffic stress. This division of labor keeps the rug stable under regular foot traffic while the surface character remains intact.

What size works best for a living room, and how should furniture sit on it?

In an 8x10, front legs of seating typically rest on the rug with rear legs off. A 9x12 or 10x14 grounds a full seating arrangement with all legs on the surface. For dining rooms, size up to allow chairs to pull out fully without leaving the rug.

Does this rug shed, and what does long-term care look like for wool and silk?

New wool rugs shed short loose fibers for the first few months. This reduces significantly with regular low-suction vacuuming. Avoid rotating the vacuum beater bar directly on silk areas. Silk does not respond well to wet cleaning at home; professional cleaning keeps the fiber structure sound.
