Ivory Delicate Floral Faux Silk Rug · Shadow · 2027

The feel of it

Run a hand across this rug and the pile gives way like poured silk — a dense, liquid softness that is the whole reason people buy a rug like this. The fibre is spun fine and cut short, so it lies flat and cool underfoot rather than springing back at you, and bare feet find it in the morning before the rest of the room has woken up.

What the camera never quite catches is the way it moves with the light. Walk one way and the ivory ground lifts to warm pearl; turn and walk back and the same ground settles into soft champagne. It is one rug that reads as two, and in north-facing rooms and anywhere that needs lifting that shift is what makes a floor look considered rather than covered.

What you are looking at

The drawing is a fine, small-scale flowering field, the lightest drawing in the collection.

Why this one

• A silk-touch surface. Cut short and woven dense, for the softest hand we stock — closer to a scarf than to a carpet.
• Lustrous, directional sheen. The pile catches light down its length, so the colour shifts from pale to deep as you cross the room.
• A woven cotton backing. 100% cotton, which holds the rug square, stops it creeping on a hard floor, and means it needs no pad at any size.
• Drawn at 1500 reeds. Fine enough that the small flowers in the border stay flowers instead of collapsing into texture.
• Best in calm rooms. Formal living rooms, dining rooms and main bedrooms — low to medium traffic, where softness and sheen are the point.

How it is made

It begins as cones of yarn standing in the creel hall, and is woven on a high-density loom under digital colour control — which is how a drawing this fine holds its register across ten feet. Off the loom the rug is washed, and the wet pile is worked over by hand with a brush before the rug is hung to dry rather than tumbled. That wash is where the lustre comes from.

It is then sheared to a level pile, and the edges and fringe are finished one rug at a time by an operator feeding it through the machine by hand. The last step before it is rolled is a person standing in front of it, looking.

Living with a silk-touch rug

The pile is spun fine and finished for lustre, and that is exactly why it is this soft — but it also means water is not its friend. Treated properly it stays beautiful for years; treated like a synthetic it will not.

• Vacuum gently, beater bar off. Suction only, in the direction of the pile.
• Blot spills at once — never rub. A dry white cloth, pressed, lifted, repeated. Rubbing distorts the pile and the mark becomes permanent.
• Do not soak, steam or wet-clean at home. Water can yellow the fibre and flatten the sheen, and that cannot be undone.
• Use a professional for anything more. Read the fibre off the care label and tell them before they start — a cleaner who knows the fibre will dry-solvent it and dry it fast, and one who guesses will ruin it.
• Rotate 180° twice a year so light and footfall land evenly.

We sell rugs; we do not wash, repair or re-fringe them, and we do not send them out on your behalf.

Each piece is precision machine-woven at premium reed counts, ensuring sharp pattern definition and consistent quality across the field. Hand-finished edges add the elevated touch that distinguishes our catalogue.

Patterns draw on Persian, Turkish, and Afghan weaving traditions — see Specifications for exact material and construction details on this piece.

A rug should run 18–24 inches past the sofa on each side. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — an undersized rug is the most common mistake we see.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 18–24 months
• No rug pad needed — the cotton backing and the rug's weight keep it flat; a small rug that shifts can use adhesive grippers or corner holders
