DESCRIPTION
This contemporary round rug is designed in the tradition of Persian Tabriz workshop rugs, defined by a centered medallion, finely articulated floral vines, and carefully proportioned borders. The circular format—long associated with formal Persian weaving—softens architectural lines while maintaining a composed, elegant presence.
The palette balances richness and restraint: dark brown and black provide depth and contrast, while beige and medium gray lighten the field for everyday livability. Muted sage accents introduce an organic note that pairs beautifully with wood tones, stone, and collected interiors.
Hand-knotted from New Zealand wool, the Medallion offers a medium pile that feels substantial underfoot while preserving crisp pattern definition—an elegant choice for living rooms, bedrooms, reading corners, and under round dining tables.

FAQ

What does “100% New Zealand wool” mean for feel and durability?
New Zealand wool is prized for its softness, resilience, and natural performance—making it an excellent choice for comfortable, long-wearing rugs.

Round rugs are ideal for entryways, breakfast nooks, reading corners, bedrooms, and under round dining tables—anywhere you want to soften straight lines and create a focal point.
