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 “Vagireh” in honor of one of the foundations of carpet weaving history itself—features a graceful repeating pattern of stylized diamond-shaped medallions, reminiscent of traditional arabesques or trellises, underscored by hues of chocolate brown, dusky pink, and mauve tones with cream accent. The marriage of the brilliant sheen of silk, a regal colorway, and delicate vine scrolls make for an exceedingly royal look. The muted tones and subtle color variations further create an atmosphere of understated luxury and sophistication, making it a versatile piece that could complement a range of interior styles. Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will particularly appreciate how each pattern enjoys its own distinct colors, and the unique sense of movement yielded from the subtle play of two patterns together—one vertical, one horizontal, married in such a unique, yet comfortable fashion. These and countless other feats of detail and beauty speak to a style of rug no one else has approached—the bleeding edge of handmade and high-end rugs, every bit as much a work of art as a woven treasure with vast design applications.
