Wool rug 260×360 burgundy R-class Red

Pattern

The field, the colour of ripe cherry and red wine, is densely woven with fine vines, leaves and flowers in gold, olive and mint green, with cream palmettes that stand out against the dark ground. A wide ivory border with green and pink flowers softens the dark field, and a narrow burgundy line on the outer edge closes the composition. The rug rests on two colours, wine and ivory, and everything else adds depth to them.

Wool, made by hand

The rug is made by hand from natural wool. The fibre is springy, so the pile does not get trodden flat even in walkways. The fringe on the short ends is white, as in the photos.

Where it goes

At 260×360 cm it suits a living room with a large sofa group, a study with a desk and cabinets, or a bedroom where the rug should extend well past the bed. Burgundy traditionally goes with dark walnut and oak, cognac leather, green and grey-blue textiles and brass. For a warmer, russet version, see the R-class rug, or other models among classic rugs.

Care

Vacuum along the pile, without a turbo brush. Blot a wine or coffee spill at once with a dry white cloth, without rubbing, and do not flood it with water. Red dyes dislike direct sun, so turn the rug 180° once a year. Every two to three years have it cleaned by a rug cleaner.
