The Persian floral idiom is one of the longest continuous design traditions in textile history, refined in court workshops from the 1500s to the present. Vines, palmettes, and a field organised around a central medallion. Hand-tufting allows the studio to refine drawing through proof samples and to hold a pile depth and density a flatweave cannot. The result reads as a designed surface meant to live in a working room.

Hand-tufted in India by a small team of three across 4 weeks. Wool pile, latex-bonded back, cotton scrim, and hand-shorn relief on the front face. Edges hand-bound, fringe omitted to keep the rug reading as a contemporary surface rather than a traditional knotted weave.

The composition

A saturated neutral ground with the drawing carved a few millimetres above the field. The relief catches light differently as you move around the room. The yarn is wool, dense enough to walk on barefoot and resilient enough to hold its hand under furniture for years. The carved relief lifts the drawing about two millimetres above the field. That single dimensional shift is what separates a tufted rug that reads as decoration from one that reads as a designed surface.

The piece in a room

size as listed works under a working living room, a generous bedroom, or a smaller dining setting. The neutral colour pairs with both warm and cool wood floors, with leather and linen upholstery, and with painted walls that lean toward chalk rather than gloss. Painted walls in chalk, plaster, or warm white hold the saturation. Direct sunlight refreshes the colour. Allow the rug to extend a foot or so beyond seating on each side. The drawing reads better with breathing room than crowded under furniture.

Care

Vacuum weekly, suction only. Blot any liquid immediately. Light shedding through the first six weeks of use is normal as loose fibre works free of the pile. Schedule a professional dry-clean every two to three years.
