Wool rug 240×310 brick red R-class

Pattern

The saturated brick-red field carries an even pattern of palmettes, rosettes and supple vines in ivory, olive and gold with a fine black outline. The colour of the field is not perfectly even: faint lighter and darker areas give the surface depth. The border is wide and sandy beige, with large stylised flowers outlined in black, and a dark red edge repeats the colour of the field. There is no central medallion, so the design reads well from any side of the room.

Wool, made by hand

The rug is made by hand from natural wool. It is springy and does not flatten under load, and the short ends carry white fringe.

Where it goes

At 240×310 cm it suits a bedroom with a double bed (the rug extends 40–60 cm past the bed on each side), a living room with a compact sofa or a dining table for six to eight. Brick red becomes an accent in cream and grey interiors, and beside dark wood, leather and brass it feels comfortably English. A similar palette is in the Poi rug; more in exclusive rugs.

Care

Vacuum without a turbo brush, along the pile, once a week or two. Blot spills with a dry white cloth from the edges toward the centre. Reds fade if direct sun falls on them all day, so turn the rug 180° in spring and autumn. Deep cleaning is for a rug cleaner.
