The story

Nila Archive belongs to The Heritage Archive. Medallions, spandrels and rosette borders from the classical carpet vocabulary, re-scaled and re-coloured for rooms that live today. The design pairs a medallion composition finished to a softly weathered surface, as though time has already begun its work with a palette of indigo, blue and beige.

Materials
Close-up of the wool surface

Wool. Naturally resilient, soil-resistant and warm underfoot.

Vacuum without a beater bar; blot spills immediately.

Craft

Hand Knotted. Each knot tied individually around the warp threads, then clipped and washed. The most time-intensive and durable construction.

Asymmetric knot on cotton warp.

Hand-knotted rugs are made knot by knot on an upright loom, then washed, clipped and finished by hand. Slight variations in tone (abrash) and in dimensions of up to 2–3% are natural signatures of this process.

Handmade variation — a shift in tone, a slightly irregular edge — is the character of the process, not a defect.

Care

Vacuum without a beater bar; blot spills immediately. Rotate every six to twelve months to even out wear and light exposure. Professional cleaning every two to three years. Use a rug pad to keep the piece flat and in place.

    Silk sheen is remarkable

    Changes through the day with the light. Worth every bit of care it needs.

A fact from the Rug Library

In the symmetric Ghiordes knot the yarn passes over two adjacent warps and both ends are brought up between them to form the pile.
