Pamono Square Rug with Floral Medallion Rose from R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal> Carpets & Textiles|Carpets & Textiles

This hand-knotted wool 11×12 square rug represents a bold new line of Rug & Kilim’s Modern Collection—a series of contemporary rugs by one of the most talented atelier designers in the craft today. On the Design: “Rose” plays a muted layering of old-world patterns of a particular rustic charm in a modern take on the rosette-style medallion of Oriental rugs—a concentric design unfolding from the central medallion, where the playful shades of orange-gold lend both light and movement over beige and silver-gray tones. Admirers of the craft will further note the quality of execution is matched perhaps only by the material—a healthy, lustrous wool with a luxurious, gentle sheen that sits with an elegant beauty in any light and brings out the very life of every color at play (and the gentle variety of each color that makes even a more comfortable, almost neutral palette like that of this rug teeming with life and visible intricacies). It’s a modern masterpiece subtly informed by classics, and one of the most refined, luxurious rugs on the bleeding edge of handmade rugs today.
