Beige Modern Abstract Rug
This beige modern abstract rug was hand double knotted in India in New Zealand wool and silk. Sandy beige fills the ground, with ivory and pale grey laid over it in broken, brushed strokes. The size can be confirmed in our showroom.
The design up close
This beige modern abstract rug has no border and no set motif. The whole field is one composition in which the sandy beige shows through in patches. The ivory and pale grey strokes run mostly in vertical streaks and break into small flecks in places.
Near the upper middle, a broad area of ivory reads as a pale block, and a larger white patch sits in the centre-left. The lower corners return to a fuller beige, so the colour feels heavier at the foot of the rug. Seen at an angle, the strokes catch the light and seem to shift in tone.
Seen from the doorway, the pale strokes read as a wash of light, and up close the brushed edges of each stroke show the texture. The raised silk threads catch the light in places and add a fine sheen to the wool. Because the pattern runs to every edge, there are no corners or ends to frame it, so the rug reads as a single surface.
Indian workshops and their materials
Indian workshops weave many modern and abstract designs, often to order, in a wide range of colours and sizes. Agra has been a carpet-weaving centre since at least the 17th century, and the Bhadohi and Mirzapur area of Uttar Pradesh is the largest carpet-making region in India. Wool is the most common pile, and some rugs mix wool with silk, as this one does.
How this rug is made
Hand double knotting builds this beige modern abstract rug one knot at a time on a loom. New Zealand wool gives the pile a soft, resilient base, and the silk adds a fine sheen.
Sizing this beige modern abstract rug
The size can be confirmed in our showroom, where you can see the strokes in daylight beside your own furniture. This beige modern abstract rug suits a living room with plain sofas, where the pattern gives the floor interest without competing with the cushions. In a bedroom it works beside the bed, and the sandy ground sits well with timber floors and white or grey walls. A neutral rug like this also works in an entry or study, where its quiet tones let the walls and furniture stand out.
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. Rubbing spills can dull silk, so this rug needs a cleaner who handles that fibre by hand. 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.
