Vivid streaks of colour run the width of this rug — bands of turquoise and teal break against rust and copper, charcoal-black, and warm tan, each line streaked and broken so the surface shimmers like weathered metal or a tide line. It is bold and painterly, with no motif or border to quiet it down; the restless stripe is the whole design.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool rich in lanolin, the pile is dense, soft underfoot, and naturally resistant to everyday wear. The high-contrast turquoise-and-rust palette makes it a true statement piece, and the broken striations of the weave mark it as a genuine one-of-a-kind rug.
