Navy and Cream Abstract Rug – Hand Knotted Wool Bold Graphic Moroccan Shag, Beni Mrirt

A navy and cream abstract rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. One bold navy bar, about 6.5 in wide, bends into an open bracket across a plush field of undyed ivory, and thirteen narrower teeth grow from it like a comb: five rise from the top, three point out from the side, and five alternate above and below the bottom run. Every join is a T and nothing crosses, and the edges are softly hand-drawn.

It is a single confident gesture with plenty of quiet ivory around it, the kind of graphic piece that makes a room. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or reading room, and it is also woven in espresso brown.

Care

Vacuum without a beater bar, rotate every six months, blot spills with cool water, and have it professionally washed every three to five years.
