Chinese Wool Pile Rug

Two inky scrolling blossoms keep their distance on an oatmeal field.

This pile rug is from China, and is contemporary. It is wool. Wool is the traditional fiber for pile rugs in China, valued for its resilience, its warmth and the way it takes dye. Pale cream ground carries two dark navy flower-and-tendril motifs stacked down the center of this narrow rectangle. A zigzag border in the same blue runs along the sides, and short fringe finishes both ends.

Quiet floor decor that still has opinions about curls.
