A Rich and Varied Palette of Harmonious Accents The rug's color story is a vibrant yet balanced celebration of natural dyes.

Each knot in this rug reflects centuries of inherited knowledge, artistic skill, and passionate dedication, transforming raw wool into a functional work of art that embodies profound cultural heritage and unparalleled artisanal quality, a true testament to its origin and the hands that created it. Commanding Proportions for Expansive Interiors As an "Oversize Rug," its truly grand dimensions are perfectly suited to anchor the largest of living rooms, palatial dining areas, or vast open-plan spaces. It effortlessly defines distinct zones within immense interiors, bringing a profound sense of warmth, exceptional acoustic dampening, and a cohesive design statement that unifies and elevates the entire environment.
