Description

Two bold ink-black brushstrokes cross the field diagonally, flanking a large central form in weathered raw umber and grey-brown. A partial arc in dark charcoal curves through the upper-left zone. The pale oyster-white ground, raised in silk, surrounds these elements with open space. The central mass carries visible internal texture: streaks and erosions knotted in wool at the lower pile plane.

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.

Questions you'd want to ask.

Plain answers about the wool, the loom, and what the rug does over years of use.

Sweep · the asked & answered
The central form is very large relative to the field. How does this construction hold such a dense wool mass over time?

The wool knots in the central form are tightly packed at the lower pile plane, giving them structural density and resistance to compression. This zone holds its shape well under regular foot traffic. The contrast between the dense central mass and the raised silk ground remains physically distinct over years of normal use.

This design reads as a single large composition. What size works best to keep the proportions intact?

The 10x14 gives the composition the most room to breathe, allowing the pale ground to remain open around the central form. The 9x12 works in rooms where the rug anchors a single seating group, with the full design visible from the main seating position. Avoid cutting the composition with heavy furniture placement over the central mass.

The pale silk surface shows fine dust and debris more readily against the dark ink-black marks. Vacuum regularly on low suction without a beater bar. For spills on the pale zones, blot immediately with a dry cloth only. Do not rub or apply liquid cleaners directly to the silk pile. Professional cleaning is recommended annually.
