The piece in short

Construction

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Where it fits

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
