Description

A saturated teal-turquoise ground carries an all-over field of large-scale medallion rosettes, hexagonal forms, and branching florals in terracotta orange, charcoal, ivory, and ink navy. The motifs read loose and slightly abrash-touched, with the ground shifting between teal and deeper blue-green across the surface. A narrow ivory border with a light blue inner stripe closes the field without competing with it.

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.

Swell · the asked & answered
The teal ground shows visible abrash. Is that a defect, or does it remain consistent over years of use?

Abrash is a natural characteristic of hand-knotted wool rugs, not a defect. It occurs when wool absorbs dye at slightly different rates across a large piece. The tonal variation is fixed into the fiber and does not change or worsen with use; it remains exactly as it appears when new.

The turquoise is a strong ground color. What furniture and room tones work alongside it without clashing?

The teal-turquoise reads most cleanly against warm neutrals: tobacco leather, dark walnut, concrete, and warm grey upholstery. The terracotta accents in the field naturally connect to warm wood tones. Avoid cool grey or pale blue furnishings in the same tonal register as the ground, as they reduce the contrast the design needs.

With large motifs and an irregular field, does this rug need a specific pile direction when laying it down?

Wool pile has a natural direction that affects how the surface reads in different light conditions. Lay the rug so the pile runs away from the main entry point of the room; this keeps the surface looking smooth and the colors reading at their fullest saturation from the primary seating position.
