The Erased Vintage Design

An all-over damask of scrolling florals covers the field, but it is drawn in the contemporary erased & oxidised manner: the pattern is deliberately faded and worn back, so amber and gold motifs dissolve gently into a deep, shadowy ground. A soft, abrashed grey-blue border frames the field like light at the edges. The effect is at once antique and thoroughly modern — the kind of vintage-look designer piece that suits today’s interiors.

Wool & Matka Silk

The pile combines 70% merino wool from New Zealand with 30% Matka silk from China. We sought out village women who still master the art of hand-spinning, so the wool carries a natural irregularity in the yarn that gives the surface its depth, while the silk catches the light and lifts the motifs. A relief cut at varying pile heights adds further dimension, and the hand is exceptionally soft. It is hand-knotted in India over a pure cotton foundation, with a pile height of roughly 9–11 mm.

Colour

A melange of amber and gold plays across a dark, smoky ground, with cooler blue notes and a pale grey-blue border. The palette is warm and quiet, easy to live with and easy to pair — equally at home with natural wood, leather and contemporary upholstery.

Presence in the Room

At 244 × 174 cm (4.25 m²) this is a versatile medium-size rug — a true 6 × 8 ft format:

• Living room: a warm centrepiece under a coffee table or in front of a sofa.
• Bedroom: a soft, luminous surface at the foot or side of the bed.
• Office or conference room: a refined, quiet floor for a working space.
