Description

Pale stone-grey and raw sand hold the ground, divided into loosely defined rectangular zones. Steel-blue and near-black sit within those zones without hard edges, and small marks, a drawn circle, short parallel lines, a rust-red fragment, surface across the field at irregular intervals. The hi-low construction gives the blue and black zones a raised, tactile surface against the flatter, worn-looking grey ground.

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.

Relic · the asked & answered
How does the hi-low construction hold its definition between the raised silk zones and the wool ground?

The two pile heights are built into the knotting sequence, not applied after finishing. The distinction between the raised silk zones and the lower wool field stays defined under normal living room use. Concentrated foot traffic directly over the raised silk areas will gradually reduce the height differential; rotating the rug annually spreads wear across the full surface.

What size works best for a large living room with multiple seating pieces?

The 10x14 suits a room where two facing sofas and a coffee table all sit within the rug's perimeter, as shown in the room context. This allows the full composition, including the dispersed marks and colour zones, to be read from multiple positions in the room. The 9x12 works where a single primary sofa anchors the arrangement.

Are the small drawn marks and details in the design durable at close range?

Yes. Every mark, including the circle, the parallel lines, and the colour fragments, is knotted into the construction. None are printed or applied to the surface. At the pile height used in this construction, fine detail in silk holds its resolution well over years of regular use, provided the rug is vacuumed correctly and not subjected to aggressive cleaning.
