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. Handwoven 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 and Mongolia, the result is the character of an heirloom rug with the resilience of a new one.
