Bamboo Beige Oval Wool Rug 270×331

Design

Most of the rug is a calm field of warm powder beige with a faint pink cast. There is no border: the design is gathered into two bouquets placed on the diagonal. At the top right, a garland of peach and lilac roses, teal leaves and an openwork cloud motif trails down into a branch of plum blossom. At the bottom left are the bamboo stems that give the rug its name, a bunch of roses, a moon-like circle and another plum branch. This asymmetric layout is typical of Chinese rugs: the open field is not just background but part of the design, giving the flowers room to breathe.

Carved pile

The rug is hand-made from wool. After weaving, the pile is trimmed along the outline of every petal and leaf, so the flowers sit slightly recessed in the field and read like a bas-relief. The design therefore changes with the light: side lighting casts small shadows that give the bouquets more depth. The dense pile is pleasant underfoot and absorbs sound well.

Where it goes

The size is 270×331 cm, about 7 m². An oval sits naturally under a round or oval dining table, under the bed in a large bedroom, or in front of a sofa where a rectangle would look too rigid. The powder and peach tones suit pale wood, cream walls and white or teal accents. More rugs in this spirit are among our classic rugs and exclusive rugs.

Care

Vacuum without a turbo brush, along the pile, and keep the fringe out of the nozzle. Blot spills with a dry white cloth from the edge of the stain inwards; do not rub. Keep the light field out of direct sun and have the rug professionally cleaned every two to three years.
