Pamono Rug in Burgundy with Floral Patterns from R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal> Carpets & Textiles|Carpets & Textiles

Made with hand-knotted wool and silk in a luxurious Nepalese pile, this 3×4 gift-sized contemporary rug is a new addition to the European rug collection—a rich and regal design inspired by vintage and antique Italian rugs and textiles. On the Design: A field of deep red tones, as deep as burgundy to as light as rose tones, underscores trellis floral patterns, where keen eyes will note pictorial depictions of vases in the all over repeat. Admirers of the craft may recognize an influence from patterns in Italian velvet, with an air of Greco-Roman architectural principles in the shape. There’s a brilliant play of fine detail and sharp curvature for this scale with the subtlety of a two-tone rug—made all the more brilliant by the silk’s natural sheen, which both complements the sense of movement and offers a tasteful elegance to the presence of the rug in any lighting. This gift-sized piece is a gorgeous work of traditional style and contemporary innovation alike, teeming with the elegance and sophisticated air of European classics that inspired this line. Its construction is among our most luxurious and durable, too—an excellent choice of thick, lush pile with all-the-more vast applications in its versatile small size.
