Anatito Anati10 Blue Wool Handmade Carpet 9'9" x 12'6"

Anatolian tribal weaving is built around the medallion, the vine, and the dot, and the colour vocabulary that came out of the Lake Van and Konya regions has shaped Western drawing rooms since the seventeenth century. The Anati10 reading of that lineage shifts the saturation toward soft pastel and rests a classical medallion on a calm field of sky and sea blue. The 9'9" x 12'6" (297 x 381 cm) scale is true drawing-room work.

This rug was hand-tufted in India over eight weeks by two tufters and a finisher. Wool was punched through a stretched cotton canvas in graduated rows, the medallion laid first and the field worked outward to keep the silhouette clean. The back was sealed with natural latex and a cotton scrim, then carved by hand with long shears so the central medallion sits a fraction proud of the ground. The pile was washed twice after the carving and sun-dried flat.

The composition

A blue field carries a softened medallion in pale rose, ivory, and walnut, framed by an ornamental border of vine and dot motifs. The palette is pastel rather than tribal-saturated, and the medallion reads as a quiet architectural centre rather than as a busy emblem. The blue itself shifts between sky and sea under different light, the wool taking the dye unevenly enough to read as textile rather than print. The composition holds at the scale of a 12-foot room.

The piece in a room

9'9" x 12'6" (297 x 381 cm) is the canonical drawing-room scale, the right size for a ten-seat dining table, a long sectional, or a primary bedroom with a king platform. The blue ground reads cool against warm walnut and brass and pairs well with both linen upholstery and bouclé. The rug expects to be the work the room is arranged around rather than flooring underneath the furniture.

Care

Vacuum weekly with the beater bar disengaged. Every hand-tufted rug loses a small quantity of fibre to a beater bar regardless of price. Blot spills with a clean cotton cloth and never rub at the pile. Expect light shedding for the first eight weeks of use. A professional dry clean every three years lifts settled dust and refreshes the dye.
