Description
Imperial is a traditional rug in a silver colourway, worked in soft grey and ivory. Its design is a classic damask of scrolling acanthus leaves and fine tendrils, repeated in neat rows across an ivory ground, with the grey leaves picked out so the pattern reads clearly from across the room. A plain grey border runs round all four sides and frames the design. The leaves have a textured look against the smoother background, which gives the surface depth and catches the light.
This is a rug for a sitting room or living room, where its silver grey sits well with wooden floors and pale walls. Its classic style suits a traditional home, yet the restrained palette works beside simpler, modern pieces too. We offer it in three sizes. The 120 by 170cm rug suits a reading corner or the space in front of a chair, the 160 by 230cm size sits in front of a sofa, and the 200 by 290cm rug goes under a sofa and coffee table or a bed.
Before you choose, mark out the size on the floor with masking tape so you can picture the rug in place. A band of bare floor showing round the edges tends to look settled, and the plain border gives the pattern a clean finish. The grey and ivory palette sits easily with most colour schemes, so the rug moves happily between rooms. For a balanced look, centre it on your sofa or bed.
