Description

A cool silver-grey field carries a large-scale diamond lattice structure, each lozenge filled with oversized botanical forms in warm honey-gold, camel-tan, and walnut-brown. Powder-blue pools inside several of the diamond compartments, shifting the interior tone between warm and cool. The ivory-parchment border runs a dense geometric scroll that holds the expansive field in check. The close-up confirms medium pile with a compact, matte wool surface and silk catching softly on the larger motif outlines.

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.

Shale · the asked & answered
The diamond lattice is a large-scale structure. How does this design read in a room versus in a product photograph?

In a room, the lattice reads as a series of connected zones rather than a tight geometric grid. The soft drawing of the lattice lines and the botanical fill inside each diamond give the field a painterly quality at a distance. The overall effect is warm and layered rather than formal or structured.

What is the best size for a living room, and does the diamond pattern work with all furniture arrangements?

The 10x14 gives the diamond lattice the most complete reading, with at least two full diamond rows visible on each axis. A standard seating arrangement with front legs on the rug works well. Avoid placing furniture so that it bisects a single diamond, as this cuts the interior motif in half and interrupts the compartment logic.

Does a medium pile wool and silk rug in this size require any special handling during installation?

A rug pad is strongly recommended under any large area rug, both to prevent movement and to protect the back of the rug from floor abrasion. For sizes 9x12 and above, professional installation ensures the rug lies flat without buckling at the edges, which is particularly important with medallion and lattice patterns where alignment matters visually.
