This collection is based on Antique oriental rug design but uses a contemporary color palette. The main characteristic of these rugs is the noticeable abrash (color change), a new technique of weaving between two color hues, which imparts an antique look. Hand-Knotted in China with a very high knot count and using only the finest wools, the result is the character of an heirloom rug with the resilience of a new one. With a very high knot count of approximately 240 knots per square inch, and using only the finest wools from New Zealand & Mongolia, the result is the character of an heirloom rug with the resilience of a new one.
