Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Weave

Woven pieces of this kind are thin, reversible, and much lighter than knotted rugs.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
