Description

Vertical strokes in tawny amber and dusty rose run against an ivory-cream ground, breaking at irregular intervals into lighter gold-beige. The silk pile rises above the wool base at these strokes, creating two distinct surface planes. No border frames the field. The distressed quality reads as natural variation, not wear.

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.

Verticalstroke · the asked & answered
How does the wool and silk construction affect how this rug holds up over time?

Wool provides the structural base and resists compression well under regular foot traffic. The real silk sits at a higher pile level and is more delicate. High-traffic zones like hallways are not recommended. In living and dining rooms with moderate use, the surface holds its definition well.

What size works best, and how should furniture sit on this rug?

The 9x12 fits most living room arrangements with all front legs of seating on the rug. The 10x14 works well when the full seating group sits within the field. For dining rooms, allow at least 24 inches beyond the table edge on all sides to accommodate pulled-out chairs.

Does real silk shed, and how should spills be handled?

Real silk does not shed the way wool can in the first months of use. It is, however, sensitive to moisture. Blot any spill immediately with a dry cloth. Do not use water-based cleaners directly on silk pile. Rotate the rug every 12 months to distribute wear across the surface evenly.
