Wool rug green and terracotta Audli England

Colour

The point of this model is the pairing of an olive-green field with a terracotta border. Both colours are muted to dusty shades, there is no hard line between them, and light tonal shifts run through the field: the yarn was dyed in batches and the difference is still visible. In photographs it reads as horizontal bands of varying saturation — that is natural dyeing, not a flaw.

Pattern

There is no medallion. Flowers, palmettes and small sprigs are spread evenly across the field. An all-over drawing like this can be turned any way and covered by furniture from any side without breaking the composition. Pale blue and apricot details hide among the blooms and lift the quiet green-and-terracotta base.

Size and placement

250×300 cm is a large format for a spacious living or dining room. Under a dining table it leaves enough margin for chairs not to slide off the edge when pulled out. In a living room such a rug usually goes under the front legs of the sofa and armchairs, which pulls the seating area together.

Material

Natural wool, hand-knotted. Wool pile is resilient, holds its shape under furniture and soils slowly. Vacuum along the pile and leave wet cleaning to specialists.
