Rugsville Persian Court Blue Beige Wool Carpet 9' x 12'

Tufted carpet making lets a designer move from drawing to floor-ready piece in weeks rather than months. The wool is pushed through a stretched cotton canvas one row at a time, then sealed at the back. The composition below is built for that direct relationship between drawing and pile.

The piece was hand-tufted in India by a team of 3 tufters and one finisher over 7 weeks. New Zealand wool was pushed through a stretched cotton canvas one row at a time with a tufting tool, then sealed at the back with natural latex and a cotton scrim that lets the rug lie flat without slipping. The last pass was carving by hand with long shears to relieve the pattern above the field by one or two millimetres. That carving is the difference between a tufted rug that reads as a piece of design and one that reads as a flat surface with paint on it. The piece reads at 9' x 12' (274 x 366 cm) in blue and beige, finished in India.

The composition

A field of blue and beige holds the composition. The drawing is set down with a discipline that lets the pattern read at distance and resolve on approach. The colour is held just below shouting volume so the rug carries a room without claiming ownership of it. The slight irregularity in the dye batches gives the field a depth that printed cloth cannot replicate, and that depth is the reason hand-finished wool keeps its place in considered interiors.

The piece in a room

9' x 12' (274 x 366 cm) is the canonical drawing-room scale. The rug expects a full sectional or a ten-seat dining table set above it, not as flooring under the furniture but as the work the room is arranged around. Mid-tone walls hold the blue saturation longer than white walls do. Direct sunlight for an hour or two a day helps the wool keep its dye depth rather than washing it out, the way it does with painted surfaces.

Care

Vacuum weekly with the beater bar disengaged. Every tufted rug loses fibre to a beater bar regardless of price. Blot spills with a clean cotton cloth, never rub. Expect light shedding for the first six weeks of use as loose fibres work themselves out of the pile. Density of the body is unaffected. Professional dry-clean every three years.
