Round rug 200×200 pink wool Pink Flowers

Pink Flowers is a round wool rug 200 cm in diameter, a handmade Chinese Aubusson.

Colour and pattern

The field is a plain pink with no border or medallion. The design rests on two flowering branches set diagonally: one in the upper part of the circle, the other opposite, at the bottom. The blossoms are peach, orange and cream, the leaves grey-green. The outlines are carved, so the branches stand slightly proud of the field. The large open area of pink keeps the rug calm: it does not crowd a room but works as a soft patch of colour.

Where a 200 cm round rug works

A round rug has no front or back, so it goes under a round table, beside a bed, in a nursery or in the centre of a small living room. 200 cm is the diameter: under a 100 cm table it leaves 50 cm on every side. Pink pairs well with cream, grey and light wood.

Fringe care

Do not vacuum the fringe with a brush head; comb it by hand or with a soft comb in one direction, and keep chair legs off it. Otherwise care is standard for wool: regular dry cleaning, wet cleaning by a specialist.
