Sea Green Abstract Wool Rug
This sea green abstract wool rug is a hand knotted wool piece made in India, and its exact size can be confirmed in our showroom. Its field is a layered abstract of olive, charcoal, teal and pale lavender-grey, with cream flecks scattered through it. Our records note vegetable dyes.
The design up close
The rug has no border and no motif. The whole field is one abstract composition built from horizontal streaks and brushlike marks. Olive and khaki strokes run across the top and lower half, and charcoal streaks cut through the centre and the right side. Teal and aqua patches appear in the upper third and across the left side, with pale lavender-grey beneath them.
Cream and white flecks cluster in the upper middle and toward the bottom edge, where they catch the light and make the surface look worn in places. Across this sea green abstract wool rug the colours blend into one another instead of forming shapes, so it feels calm rather than busy. An abstract rug like this suits a room that already has strong furniture or art.
Indian weaving and wool
India has a long hand-knotted rug tradition, and Agra has been a carpet-weaving centre since at least the 17th century. Indian workshops weave many modern and abstract designs, often to order, in a wide range of colours and sizes.
Wool is the most common pile in Indian rugs, and this rug is made in wool. Its softer, quieter tones sit well with the abstract style that Indian workshops are known for.
How a sea green abstract wool rug is made
This sea green abstract wool rug is hand knotted in wool. Weavers tie each knot by hand on a loom, row after row, then trim the pile level. Turning the rug over shows the design on the back, with small irregularities where each knot was tied by hand. The abstract marks are built up from many small knots, so the surface looks layered rather than printed.
Sizing it for your room
The exact size of this rug can be confirmed in the showroom, so you can check it against your furniture before you decide.
This is a large rug, so it suits a living room with a sofa and armchairs, or a dining room where the chairs need space to slide back. A sea green abstract wool rug in these olive, charcoal and teal tones works best where the colours can carry across the floor, such as timber or pale stone. If you are unsure whether it fits a particular wall or alcove, we can check the measurements with you in the showroom.
Looking after your rug
Vacuum it on a suction-only setting, or with the beater bar switched off, so the brush does not pull at the knots. Turn it around every six to twelve months so sun and foot traffic wear it evenly. Blot spills with a clean white cloth and cold water rather than rubbing them in. When it needs a full clean, choose a cleaner who washes handmade rugs by hand.
Put a good underlay beneath it. It stops the rug sliding on timber or tiles, adds cushioning and takes some of the wear off the pile. Moths like wool in dark, quiet spots, such as the part of a rug under a sofa, so vacuum those areas often and lift the furniture now and then.
