Description

A saturated crimson-red ground carries large-scale symmetrical bird and leaf forms in graphite-grey, olive-green, ivory, and near-black, arranged in a mirrored composition along the vertical axis. The motifs are monumental in scale: each bird form spans a third of the field width. The border runs on a cooler graphite-grey ground with a dense scrolling vine in matching tones, contrasting clearly with the red field.

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.

Raptor · the asked & answered
The crimson-red ground is the most dominant element in the design. How does this saturated colour hold over time?

Crimson-red is one of the most stable dye colours in wool. It maintains its saturation well under indoor conditions over years of regular use. The primary risk is prolonged direct sunlight, which shifts red tones gradually. Keeping the rug away from sustained sun exposure and rotating annually preserves the ground colour across the full field.

The bird forms are very large relative to the field. How does furniture placement work with this composition?

The vertical axis of the mirrored composition reads best when kept clear of large furniture. For the 9x12, placing the sofa along one short end keeps the full bird composition visible from the main seating position. The 10x14 gives more flexibility. Avoid placing a large coffee table over the central ivory element, which anchors the lower composition.

How does the medium-pile wool surface perform in a room that sees daily use?

Medium-pile hand-knotted wool handles daily living room traffic well, compressing gradually and evenly over time without losing pattern definition. The settled quality that develops over years of use is part of how the rug behaves in the room. Rotating annually and vacuuming on low suction keeps the surface in good condition and distributes wear evenly across the full field.
