Brown and Cream Wavy Grid Rug – Hand Knotted Wool, Thick High Pile Moroccan Shag

A brown and cream wavy grid rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Bold hand-drawn espresso lines, three along the length and four across, cross a plush field of undyed ivory about two feet apart, each one waving gently so the grid reads as a softly warped check of open ivory squares. The lines are about 2.5 in wide, run off all four edges and have soft, slightly irregular edges, as knotted by hand.

It takes the calm of a classic grid and loosens it, a relaxed modern piece that pairs well with leather, walnut and warm whites. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or family room, and it is also woven with navy lines.
