Wool and silk rug 250×300 beige-brown-grey Hiver

Three zones of design

The Hiver rug is built from three clear zones. Inside lies a cream field with an even scatter of rosettes and vines in olive, brown and ochre tones. Around it runs a wide grey border with inserts of large palmettes, and a pale cream outer band with small flowers completes the composition. The result is a calm range of beige, brown and grey.

Silk and wool

In the pile, wool sits beside silk. The silk threads catch the light, so the design shimmers slightly as the viewing angle changes. The wool gives the rug its spring, and the silk gives the petals a smooth gloss.

Size

The catalogue lists the rug as 250×300 cm; the actual dimensions differ a little, at about 246×312 cm, as is normal for handmade work. The format is nearly square, which suits a room with a wide opening: it covers the centre of the seating area with a margin around the sofas. For anyone looking for a 250 by 300 rug, this model works as the base of a spacious living room.
