This exquisite piece is really quite fascinating, geometric, but only softly so. With such an endearing pattern and chunky weave, this is one of my favourite rugs in a while.

The warm tones of berry and dusky pink are enlivened with those lovely pops of sky blue and sage green, adding depth and character to your home.

Investing in a vintage rug ensures these beautiful and meaningful products stay in circulation. Woven by hand on a loom, these flat weave rugs are hard-wearing and easy to clean. When looked after, they’ll last you a lifetime.

Due to being handmade the rug may not be perfectly rectangular or evenly straight - we are not selling machine made rugs :)
Flatweave is the term used to describe the rugs that we source, the rugs have no pile because they are woven and not knotted. The flat weaves are woven by hand on a loom resulting in a flat rug which is not as soft or as thick as a hand knotted rug. Slow hand woven vintage rugs are so well made, they are extremely hard wearing and made with natural fibres that are easy to clean, vacuum or wipe down.
Keeping beautiful treasures in circulation for generations to come, this is what we are supporting. Buying an old rug that has been in existence for 40 plus years and not using up any of our planets precious resources is a good thing.

Many of the dyes used by the artisans are made from natural pigments, and to fade or clean the colours the rugs are laid out in the blazing sun. There is no plastic or man made fibres, just woven wool/cotton with a wealth of well-trodden history. The wool's lanolin oil is a natural stain repellent.

How truly remarkable and unique to welcome such a piece into your home. In many instances this will end up being passed down the generations with your own family history pressed into these genuinely original rugs.
