Navy and Cream Spiral Rug – Hand Knotted Wool, Thick High Pile Moroccan Shag

A navy and cream spiral rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. One bold hand-drawn navy line, about 2.5 in wide, starts near a corner and winds inwards around the rug in three rectangular turns, with about 7 in of ivory between them, ending in a short line in a calm ivory centre. The corners are softly rounded and the edges slightly irregular, as knotted by hand, and the line stays about a foot inside the edges of a plush field of undyed ivory.

It has the calm of a framed rug with the movement of a single drawn line, and it anchors a sofa, a bed or a dining table without crowding the room. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or music room, and it is also woven with an espresso brown line.
