Name: AIRY Nomadic Elephant Track Tribal Carpet | Soft Moon Grey, Deep Espresso, Taupe

Size: 8.2 x 10.2
Age: Vintage, C. 1920-40's
Pile: Low/Medium Plush Pile with incredible age-related patina but all in all, it's in INCREDIBLE condition. Gorgeous floppy wool pile with wool construction so definitely get a custom cut pad to add some wonderful body to this piece I recommend that for all pieces that are 100% pure organic wool construction. This piece been antique washed to offer a timeless Nomadic pattern in a more suitable color palette for more understated spaces. Feel free to inquire to learn more about antique washing if you'd like to learn more. I strictly source from people that know how to do it without harming the rug or the fibers.

About: Look up a the moon one a dark midnight evening - THAT is the color of this piece; the craters, shadows and depth the moon has - this piece has it all too, except this piece has that character from each knot having it's own personality and identity. I feel that each knot has a subtle warmth to it, almost like the moon is blushing as some red blood cells rush to the face. So much depth in this piece even for a softer palette. This piece is absolutely all-encompassing for someone that wants an elevated feel YET still wants a genuinely old piece that still has the character and depth that ONLY an old piece can offer. I typically bring these in for my designers as they like to work with softer palettes in specific spaces where it calls for something more understated - but II'm not only picky about the muted pieces I bring in, I love color myself - however I do believe not all spaces need to be a fireworks for the eyes, sometimes you do want a more serene and soothing space to recharge and make you feel like you're lifted instead of anchored - so when I come across specific softer pieces that still meet my requirements for story-filled and character-rich antique or vintage pieces - I'm seduced myself and this is a perfect example. This design of course is the Elephant track rug inspired by the Silk Road, and next to the Elephants you see the Butterfly motif fluttering with - reminding us that David and Goliath can exist together, and in harmony at that. The Power and Strength of a Majestic Elephant walks with an equally beautiful and Graceful Butterfly really capturing what we mean by Yin and Yang.

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. See less
