On the Design:

Each piece in this collection is a unique reimagining of traditional designs and antique rugs in one of the most luxurious new qualities and high knot counts available today. This particular rug—entitled “Arghavan” from a time-honored Persian symbol of beauty, rarity and value—witnesses a beautiful shade of dusty pink, underscoring striking bursts of abstract motifs in shades of dark brown. These scattered motifs appear somewhat organic and dynamic, radiating outwards from a central point, and admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate how well balanced and quiet the demeanor is for such an intricate, unexpected design, among many notable traits that speak to its master weavers. Keen eyes will also note abstract damask-like patterns woven in a lighter shade of ochre with accents of gold, and admire the subtle nod to a traditional rug pattern used in this beautifully unexpected approach to dimensionality and movement. Furthermore, the gorgeous sheen of silk sits beautifully in any light and adds another element of movement and depth to this piece in any light, as well as an elegant, luxurious presence in any space, even for this subdued, very comfortable design. Among its many feats of meticulous detail, the wool is also handtwisted to achieve its particular abrashed look, which is incredibly challenging to accomplish in any quality, let alone this brilliant high-end construction. In all these ways and more, this rug denotes the modish aesthetics of one of the most bold and intricate creations from any atelier in the world today. See less
