Description
Imperial is a traditional rug in blue with an ornate damask pattern: large scrolling leaves and fine floral filigree, repeated in mirrored rows across the whole rug. The blue is a soft, dusty shade set against a pale grey that picks out the finer detail, so the design reads clearly from across the room without ever feeling loud. The pattern sits slightly raised against the ground, which gives the surface a textured, sculpted look that catches the light as it moves across the floor. It is a classic design in a calm, cool palette, finished with a narrow pale edge.
We think it is most at home in a living room. The 160 by 235cm and 200 by 285cm sizes are large enough to sit under the front legs of a sofa and armchairs, drawing a seating area together on bare boards. The 120 by 170cm size suits a smaller sitting room or a reading corner, and the larger sizes work well under a bed in a bedroom. Its blue and grey sit happily with pale walls, warm wood floors and traditional furniture alike.
Imperial is sold in three rectangular sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 235cm and 200 by 285cm. Before you choose, mark the size out on the floor with masking tape, so you can see how much of the floor it covers and where the furniture will stand. As a rule, leave a band of bare floor showing around the edges of the room, and the rug will sit comfortably within the space.
