Ladlou Beige Wool and Silk Rug 240×300

Design

The ivory field is covered with an all-over floral design: rosettes, palmettes, buds and fine leafy tendrils in olive, bronze, terracotta and pink. There is no medallion; the pattern spreads evenly across the whole field, so the rug looks equally good from any side of the room. The field is framed by a wide golden-sand border with large floral rosettes, flanked on both sides by narrow olive-brown guard stripes with small ornaments. The palette is warm and restrained, in the spirit of classic Persian rugs.

Wool and silk

The rug is hand-knotted. The pile is mainly wool, while some elements of the design are worked in silk: in side light the flowers and tendrils shine, and the pattern looks more three-dimensional than in the top-down photo. Wool gives the rug spring and warmth; silk adds sheen and crisp fine detail. The short ends carry white fringe.

Where it goes

At 240×300 cm (7.2 m²) it suits a living room with a sofa and armchairs, a dining room under a table for six, or a spacious bedroom. The light field makes a room feel larger, and the golden border pairs well with walnut and oak furniture, brass, and olive or cream textiles. More rugs are among our classic rugs and exclusive rugs.

Care

Silk dislikes moisture and stiff brushes, so vacuum without a turbo brush, along the pile, on medium power. Blot spills straight away with a dry white cloth; do not rub or use household cleaners. Rugs with silk should only be cleaned by a professional service, every two to three years.
