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

A navy and cream zigzag rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Five bold hand-drawn navy zigzags cross a plush field of undyed ivory from one long side to the other, evenly spaced down the length, each about 2.5 in wide and about 10 in from peak to valley. The points are gently rounded and the edges slightly irregular, as knotted by hand, so the rhythm feels drawn rather than printed.

It brings a relaxed, sunlit energy to a room with plenty of calm ivory between the rows. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or garden room, and it is also woven with espresso brown zigzags.
