Wool and silk rug beige Flevil

The Aubusson drawing

The composition follows the French tradition: a central shaped medallion with a bouquet, symmetrical corner fills and a frame of acanthus leaves curled into spirals. All of it is woven in tones very close in lightness, so the pattern does not shout but emerges as soft light and shade. The roses scattered across the medallion and edges provide the only colour accents.

A pale palette

The rug is nearly monochrome — cream, sand and ivory with touches of muted pink and olive. Such a palette brightens a room and works in interiors where walls and textiles carry the colour and the floor is asked for a quiet ground. The trade-off is that a pale field demands cleanliness.

The 170×240 size

A compact format. It goes into a bedroom, beside the bed or under its lower third; into a small living room, under the coffee table; into a study, under a chair and shelving. For a sofa with armchairs 170×240 cm is usually too small: only the coffee table will fit, and the furniture will stay off the edge.

Material

Wool with silk, hand-knotted. Silk threads light up the petals and scrolls while the wool holds the shape of the pile.
